Rebuilding Python entirely seems pretty silly... it's way easier to  
just rebuild the _tkinter extension. You could even do it in your  
py2app setup.py. Just copy the sources from python. You'll probably  
need to do some fiddling in your main script if DISPLAY isn't set  
though.

from setuptools import setup, Extension

extensions = [
     Extension('_tkinter', ['_tkinter.c', 'tkappinit.c'],
         define_macros=[('WITH_APPINIT', 1)],
         include_dirs=['/usr/X11R6/include'],
         library_dirs=['/usr/X11R6/lib'],
         libraries=['tcl8.4', 'tk8.4', 'X11'],
     ),
]

setup(
     app=['MyApp.py'],
     extensions=extensions,
     setup_requires=['py2app'],
)
