My guess is that the real problem is the braindead X11 detection code in 
the tk-tablematrix-pm586 package. It basically runs

ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11*

and then takes the *last* object it finds in this list as a library to 
link to. On 10.4, this is "libX11.dylib" which is OK, but on 10.5, it is 
"libX11.la" which would be good enough for libtool, but is not a correct 
object file for the perl build process.

I cannot really test this theory, because in my case the build process 
stops immediately after not finding config/tod.c, before it gets to the 
X11 stuff. No idea why it does this for me.
