Correct, though PIL requires some dependencies as well, so it's not that 
simple. What is simple is to use Russel Owen's "unofficial" binaries:


http://www.astro.washington.edu/users/rowen/python/

for python2.7, you want:

PIL-1.1.7-python.org-32bit-py2.7-macosx10.3.dmg


That is the build for the 32 bit PPC+Intel build of python from 
python.org. Unless you really need 64 bit, that's the one I recommend.
