I don't know much about SGI build issues, but the "jpeg_resync_to_restart"
symbol is defined by the JPEG library -- which shouldn't be needed by the
Tk interface...

guessing wildly, you could try changing this part of setup.py

try:
    import _tkinter
    TCL_VERSION = _tkinter.TCL_VERSION[
except (ImportError, AttributeError):
    pass
else:
    INCLUDE_DIRS = ["libImaging"]
    LIBRARY_DIRS = ["libImaging"]
    LIBRARIES = ["Imaging"]

to read

try:
    import _tkinter
    TCL_VERSION = _tkinter.TCL_VERSION[
except (ImportError, AttributeError):
    pass
else:
    INCLUDE_DIRS += ["libImaging"]
    LIBRARY_DIRS += ["libImaging"]
    LIBRARIES += ["Imaging"]
