If there is a successful war against Iraq, there won't be much problem allocating some of their territory for a Kurdish state, but it's doubtful that Turkey will surrender any territory for the cause.

Turkey is nervous about a regime change in Iraq, as are Saddam's other neighbors, because of the after effects. While others are nervous over having a democracy in the neighborhood for their people to covet, the possibility of a "Kurdistan" is Turkey's biggest concern because many Kurdish holy sites are within their borders.
