PIL is know to have issues with setuptools, and, I think virtualenv. See 
this:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/1.6

The first thing I'd try is a straight:

setup.py build

install, without virtualenv

That will tell you whether it is a setuptools and/or virtualenv issue.

Some googling will get you other hints, or maybe it's as simple as:

easy_install pillow

-HTH,
