You could use the tree at http://svn.pythonmac.org/python24/python24- 
fat,
check out using subversion and then build using:

$ configure --enable-framework --enable-universal-sdk
$ make
$ sudo make frameworkinstall

Please let us know of the results. The installer for the universal  
binary
is very close to being finished, I'm currently working on creating an
.mpkg instead of a single package. When that is finished we should have
a working installer of a universal python 2.4 build.

Running the current version using Rosetta will work as well.
