PIL *can* use Tkinter when it's available, and py2exe cannot determine
whether it's actually used or not.

You can exclude it by using
  python setup.py py2exe "--excludes=Tkinter,_imagingtk"

Note that you have to make sure the image plugins you need
from PIL are included in the exe you create!
You would either "import JpegImagePlugin, PngImagePlugin, ..."
or use the "--includes=JpegImagePlugin,PngImagePlugin,..."
command line switch.
