Yup:

make dist

or

make dist-gzip / make dist-zip

(Actually I've forgotten to update the version number at the
start of configure.in, so the tarball generated will be "chicken- 
1.0.tar.gz")

Note that I'm not using the makefile-target for distribution
(I have my own script that does that), so possibly files
are missing. But the archive should contain anything
needed for building chicken, anyway).
