Do a first 'make build' after replacing: 

   #define TCL YES

by:

   #define TCL NO

in XF4/xc-old/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/bindist/OpenBSD-ix86/host.def
After that you'll have all but XF86Setup installed. So you can build
and install Tk. 

If you need XF86Setup to configure a XFree86 3.3.6 server (because
your card is not supported by XFreee86 4.0.3 or some other reason...),
you can revert the host.def you edited and do a second make
build.
