AFAIK Mako's buffet plugin requires you to pass it a
"mako.directories" config option with the search path(s) for your
templates. However, Turbogears won't pass the engine plugin that
option unless you apply the following patch:

def load_engines():
config = turbogears.config
engine_options ={
+ "mako.directories" : config.get("mako.directories", []),
"genshi.encoding" : config.get("genshi.encoding", "utf-8"),
"genshi.default_doctype" : config.get
("genshi.default_doctype", None),
"kid.encoding" : config.get("kid.encoding", "utf-8"),
A little bit of digression... It would be nice if TG passed all
options in the config to the plugin engine(s) so they could pick
their options, however, its not trivial as CP2 config mechanism is
not trivial either... :( CP3 has a much saner config mechanism so
this will probably be much easier to do in TG 1.1 which will use CP3.
I'd like to apply that patch to the 1.0 branch but mako is not
"officially" supported by TG and the 1.0 branch is frozen except for
bug-fixes so I think it wouldn't be a good idea.
I believe the above patch plus a "mako.directories" entry in your
config file will do the trick... tell us how it goes.
