These don't appear to be in the GRASS source any more.

This is an old Mac "Classic" (that is, pre-OSX) Tcl header.  From the  
"Mac" readme (as opposed to Mac OS X):

"Note that Tcl on Mac OS Classic is no longer supported and likely no  
longer
compiles, the last release known to work is 8.4.2. The 'mac' source
directory and all other Mac Classic code have been removed from Tk 8.5."

It was probably never needed in the first place by GRASS.

These are only needed when using the Aqua TclTk.  X11 TclTk on OSX is  
pure unix (and the one I recommend).

tkMacOSX.h is installed on an Aqua build, so it is not needed in the  
GRASS source.

tkMaxOSXInt.h is included in the system Tk in Leopard, in an include  
sub-folder "tk-private".  It is not included in the system Tk in Tiger.
