I guess you installed Python-2.1.1 from a source tarball?  If that is
the case, you could simply rebuild/re-install 2.1.1 along with Tkinter
support.

If OTOH your Python-2.1.1 was installed from an RPM its likely that
the rpm you installed is broken or the tkinter rpm you are trying to
install is looking for a different rpm to be installed.  You can try
and search for an appropriate rpm from rpmfind.net.  

AFAIK, there is no way you can tell a packaging system about stuff you
install outside of the system.
