Probably you don't have Tkinter installed.
PIL uses Tkinter, but can live without it.
You should be able to build your exe with the excludes
command-line flag:

python setup.py "--excludes=Tkinter,_imagingtk"

Oh, and by the way: as long as you only use jpeg images,
I guess you don't have to include BmpImagePlugin, TiffImagePlugin
and so on.
