Mandrake is rpm-based right?  Try and find a mandrake rpm for Tkinter.
If you go to the BeOpen site, I believe they have source rpms for
Python 2.0.  Get it and run

rpm --rebuild NameOfSourceRpm.srpm

to build rpms of python and tkinter specifically for your system.
Then install them.

I always liked to build the srpms when I was running a RedHat system.
Now I use Debain ;-).

(
  $ apt-get install python2-tk 

  apt will resolve all dependencies such as the interpreter itself 
)
