I don't see an easy fix.

On the other hand, the whole contents of py-Tk is one dynamically
loadable module, so I don't think a buildlink3.mk file is appropriate
or necessary.

I suggest replacing it, where included, with a plain
  DEPENDS+= ${PYPKGPREFIX}-Tk-[0-9]*:../../x11/py-Tk
line.

Does anyone see a problem with that?
