The port distribution doesn't build to support Tkinter. That's why I
started building python from source. And since I'm building from source
I can be more up-to-date then the ports distribution, and include pil,
pmw, etc in the build.

Python as installed from ports doesn't support Tkinter.

Looks like they changed that recently - because it used to build it by
default. Tkinter is now installed by x11-toolkits/py-tkinter.

 That's why I started building python from source. And since I'm
 building from source I can be more up-to-date then the ports
 distribution, and include pil, pmw, etc in the build.

The current ports Python is 2.4.2. Do you have a newer version of
Python? And pil/pmw and a lot of other things are already in the ports
tree as separate ports.

I've tried to fix it, still happens on Python 2.4.2 on FreeBSD6.0.

Don't sweat it ,

 Not really, no. It's safe to ignore.
