Don't bother building it yourself.  Either use the 3.1.2 installer from 
here:

http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.1.2/

or wait a bit until the 3.1.3 OS X installer becomes available (I don't 
know how long that will be).  Either way, the 32-bit Pythons installed 
by the python.org installers will use an ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.4 (from 
/Library/Frameworks) if available at run time, otherwise they will use 
the Apple-installed Tcl/Tk 8.4 in /System/Library/Frameworks.
