If your goal is just to install Python, there is now a Mac installer available.
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.1/

If you really want to build, download the source and see the
Mac/README file. A basic framework build is
./configure --enable-framework
make
sudo make install

If you want it to work with Tkinter, there is a problem in the
released setup.py, see this bug for a fix:
http://bugs.python.org/issue4017

in particular
http://bugs.python.org/msg74544
