Two ways.

In the default configuration, both Tcl and Tk provides .pc files to use
with pkg-config, who became the de-facto standard for registering
package configuration and compilation options. Try

$ pkg-config --cflags tk
-I/usr/local/include

The other option is to use the information recorded in the Tcl binary.

$ echo 'puts [tcl::pkgconfig get includedir,install] | tclsh'
/usr/local/include

since both Tcl and Tk are usually installed in the same --prefix
