Yes, or for Frames use a relief value to see where the frame bounds are.

Here is my stripped down version that does what I think you want::

    def body(self, master):
        self.title("Enter Site/Misc. Data")

        # Heading
        fLocationTitle = Frame(master, height=7)
        fLocationTitle.pack()
        Label(fLocationTitle, text="Geographic Location").pack()

        # Latitude and Longitude
        fCoords = Frame(master)
        fCoords.pack()
        Label(fCoords, text='Latitude:').grid(row=0, column=0, padx=5)
        self.lat = Entry(fCoords, width=12)
        self.lat.grid(row=0, column=1, padx=5)

        Label(fCoords, text='Longitude:').grid(row=0, column=2, padx=5 )
        self.long = Entry(fCoords, width=12)
        self.long.grid(row=0, column=3, padx=5)


I removed quirte a lot of the redundant code that was cluttering things
up and moved the frames to beside the widgets that are contained
within them.
