wouldn't you want:

"-arch i386 -arch PPC"

To be compatible with the python2.5 build? Adding the 64 bit lib 
wouldn't hurt, but it wouldn't' help, either, unless you want to use it 
with other things that need it.

You may also simply be able to use a binary of PIL. There is this one here:

http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/index.html

Which is for the python.org 2.5, but you may be able hand-copy some 
stuff over.

I did set up a build to PIL, using macports to build libjpeg and libpng. 
They  build well using the "universal" variant on a 10.5 Intel system. 
I'm not sure what macports is building on SL, but it's worth checking out.
