Your guess is correct. (The exponent should be $k+1$, even when the base is a point.) For any smooth fiber bundle $$ F\hookrightarrow P \stackrel{\pi}{\to} M $$ we have a short exact sequence of vector bundles over $P$ $$ 0\to VTP\to TP \to \pi^* TM\to 0, $$ where $VTP$ denotes the *vertical* tangent bundle defined as the kernel of the differential of $\pi$. If the bundle is holomorphic then the above is a short exact sequence of complex vector bundles and we deduce $$ c(TP)= c(VTP)\cdot \pi^* c(TM). $$ This leads to your guess since the classical Euler exact sequence argument shows that $$ c\bigl(\; V T\mathbb{P}(V)\;\bigr)= \bigl(\; 1+c_1(\gamma^*)\;\bigr)^{k+1}. $$ (Note the exponent is $k+1$.)
