I just pushed a patch to
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193957, which updates
pillow, makes it available for different python versions at the same time and
addresses db@'s _imagingtk issue
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193958).

This should allow us to migrate the ports to pillow.

Cheers
