The phptal plugin on this page http://tracfort.jp/projects/symfony-phptal/wiki is already 2 years old so you will be better off taking the Smarty plugin as an example (this is what the phptal plugin did).
I can suggest that you think in terms of how to compile the php tal template into PHP and then pass it to the native sfPHPView class. This way you will not need to do anything special with initializing helpers, globals, etc. I am not very familiar with the way phptal works but I am sure there is a way to compile it to PHP. If you go in that direction you can also take a look at sfHamlView as that's exactly how it works.
