If you are trying to put a MPL plot in a TK app, Matplotlib can do that 
directly -- no need to go through files, GIF or otherwise.

Also, I'm not a TK user, but it seems very odd that GIF is the only 
format it understands -- with the patent issues around it, I"d think it 
would be the last choice for a single format.

All that being said, if you want PIL on OS_X, get it here:

http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/

(I thought that package was going to go up on the PIL download site, but 
I guess not yet)

I suppose this is a good reminder to re-invigorate my effort to write a 
script to build PIL binaries on OS-X...
