It has the library.  It's in /opt/bro/{include,lib}.  So adding "--with-broccoli=/opt/bro" should take care of it for you.
Here is the configure command that I got working with included pcap and bro.
$ CXXFLAGS="-I/opt/pfring/include" CFLAGS="-I/opt/pfring/include" ./configure --with-broccoli=/opt/bro --with-pcap=/opt/pfring

From your output, it looks like you could install bison and flex, too.
