A few suggestions, as I've been fiddling with this myself recently:
1. Unless you absolutely, positively have to have 2.2 compatibility,
skip 2.2.2 and just work from Python CVS (a.k.a. 2.3a0). Jack Jansen
has put in a lot of effort the Mac-specific parts of the tree since
the release of 2.2.0. I suspect much of his recent work hasn't been
backported to the 2.2.x maintenance branch.
2. Don't mess with Modules/Setup*. Tkinter should build okay if
you've installed AquaTk correctly. Tony Lownds' instructions are the
correct place to look for AquaTk help.
3. Build Python as
./configure --enable-framework
make
make frameworkinstall
4. Post followup questions to the MacPython SIG:
Pythonmac-SIG at python.org. You will find a much higher concentration
of MacPython people there. ;-)
