I am building in the same directory as before but using a different
executable, the "tclsh.." from the build directory.

I changed as minimal as possible.
IMHO it would be better to start the kbs.tcl from the directory where
it lives.
But then the kbs.tcl must reside in the build directory or we need a
parameter for "v::maindir"

Now some remarks to specific extensions:

"kbs.tcl build Itk" failed in
  Sources symlink [Srcdir]/../Itcl-[Version]
could not create new link ".../kitgen/sources/Itk-3.3": target ".../
kitgen/sources/Itk-3.3/../Itcl-3.3" doesn't exist

workaround in itk.kbs:
#Sources symlink [Srcdir]/../Itcl-[Version]
Sources cvs incrtcl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/incrtcl incrTcl

Tkhtml
  fetching /home/rene/devel/test/kitgen/downloads/tkhtml3-
alpha-14.tar.gz
gzip: /home/rene/devel/test/kitgen/downloads/tkhtml3-alpha-14.tar.gz:
not in gzip format
 --> 1230545 byte

mmh..? If I fetch the file by hand it works?
 wget http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/tkhtml3-alpha-14.tar.gz --> 821190 byte


trofs:

workaround in "sources/trofs-0.4.3/configure (line 7145):
old:
                system=MP-RAS-`awk '{print }' /etc/.relid'`
changed:
                system=MP-RAS-`awk '{print }' /etc/.relid`


With the above errors in mind I would vote for a repository with
patched and ready to go versions.
May be a special target like "kbs.tcl getrepository"
