My apologies.  I missed your response to my question.
Thanks for pointing me to GDALDataset::GetInternalHandle()
and the tiff library compatibility gotcha's.

To answer your question, I wish to use geotiff format to work in general XYZ space, and not necessarily tied to the Earth. I still need transformations like XYZ <--> IJK, and would like to set the 4x4 coefficients, directly. I did not see how to reasonably do this trhough the gdal interface. Understandably, gdal is designed around the Earth.

Let's say I've opened a dataset (from a tiff file on disk).  How do I
get hold of the TIFF structure that is used by the libtiff library?
GDALDataset::GetInternalHandle() on a GTiff dataset will return a TIFF* handle.
But be careful. If you use GDAL compiled with internal libtiff (libtiff 4.X),
you must also link your application against libtiff 4.X, or export the libtiff
symbols of the internal version of GDAL, otherwise chaos will happen.

Why do you want to access the TIFF handle ? Is there information you cannot
access through GDAL API ?
