That's sort of my suggestion except I suggested adding a new variable 
(PREFER_PILLOW?) that we can test for and only have one dependency.

.if defined(PREFER_PILLOW)
  DEPENDS+=     ${PYPKGPREFIX}-Pillow-[0-9]*:../../graphics/py-Pillow
.else
  DEPENDS+=     ${PYPKGPREFIX}-imaging-[0-9]*}:../../graphics/py-imaging

Although I wonder if the default shouldn't be Pillow so "PREFER_IMAGING" 
instead.

I don't think we are there yet.  It's fine for standalone programs but 
if it is a dependency like Pillow is we need to allow both.
