Well, I have Mac PIL and Numpy packages. I don't think Python modules are something you should be bundling in GRASS binaries, since users may already have them installed.
If the GRASS installer (at least on OS X) could check for dependencies it wouldn't such a problem, since GRASS would simply not install and tell you what is missing. That's been a low priority on my list to do for a while - add some mechanism for extending the installer creation in the bindist target, to allow packagers to specify dependency checks (it's not something that's easy or practical to do automatically based on configured dependencies).
