Do you have more than one version of python installed on your
system? Take a look in 
/usr/local/lib/
and see if maybe you have maybe
python2.1
python2.2

It's possible that the port installed tkinter in to your
2.1 install, but your default python is 2.2 (take a look
at the sizes of the files when you do:
ls -l /usr/local/bin/python* 
Whichever one you have 2 of is your default.)

Try your tkinter code using the other python and see if
it works.
