Jason,

Ensure you have libtiff 3.6.0 for libgeotiff 1.2.0.  It is often hard to ensure
libgeotiff gets the right libtiff include files if you have multiple versions
of libtiff on the system.

If you build GDAL "--with-libtiff=internal" and "--with-geotiff=internal" then
you will have geotiff support in mapserver.  You should then build MapServer
"--without-libtiff" so it doesn't try to use it's built-in tiff support.

Good luck,
