Yup, I was missing the python-devel package. Dropped that in and mailman is now built and happy. I'm relatively new to linux, and I've found some things are easier installed as a package and others from source. This is just my personal perception, of course. I generally try to install from source first, I feel like I get more control over how it ends up working that way.
