You do have libtiff3g-dev? This is necessary.

Not a big deal. You won't be able to compile r3.showdspf or any of the
PostgreSQL specific modules.

If you already have the development libraries for TIFF, then remove
config.cache and try running ./configure again.  If it already has a
failure in the cache, it won't run the test again.  If that still fails,
please specify which release of GRASS you are using.  

It is pretty easy to edit the file grass/src/CMD/head/head.$ARCH to add
-ltiff to TIFFLIBPATH.  You shouldn't need to do anything else.
