That's not an error - it was printed at the end of my build as well (would not even have noticed on my own), but installation succeeds just fine without these. I guess bsddb185 would be some wrapper for Berkeley DB (if you need one, you should be able to install bsddb3-py27 once your python build is fixed), the next are obviously audio devices for various OSs you'd neither want nor need, and no idea what spwd might be...

That's probably the show-stopper, but almost no information on the causes - are there no further messages below? I'd then look further up in the output for some error messages about failing to compile _tkinter.so or the like. 
I just built that package on the same system version; without further diagnostics I could only suggest to check your installation of tcltk and tcltk-dev, maybe rebuild those packages ('fink rebuild tcltk').
