Buildout needs to provide more help in this situation.
PILwoTk is a special distribution of PIL that I created that installs
with setuptools (easy_install or buildout) and doesn't require Tk. :)
I'd be happy to make it more widely available. AFAIK, there isn't
any other distribution of PIL that installs cleanly with setuptools.
