I'm a little confused about which packages you are having trouble with:

TkInter
PIL
wxPython.

Clearly building PIL is an issue for you, but what about the other two? 
In particular, what wxPython issues are you having? I don't have Snow 
Leopard, but I'd like to know if there are wxPython issues for the 
future, and for when I distribute apps for others to run.

By the way, if wxPyhon does work OK, it can do a fair bit of image 
loading/processing, so maybe you don't need PIL for your app.

NOTE 2: if you get PIL building, it would be great if you could build a 
version that statically links the non-standard dependencies, and post it 
somewhere (preferably give it to Fredrik for him to put up on the PIL site.
