You bet.  You _are_ using buildout, I trust.  Fortunately, I'd already been 
using this solution (for PIL at least - I don't know about python-ldap, but 
for libxml2-python, I just added it to the eggs list and added it's tarball 
URL to "find-links") for my Windows Plone installs.  Add to your 
buildout.cfg:

parts =
...
    PIL

[PIL]
# Build egg with Chris McDonough's custom packaging of
# setuptools-compatibile PIL
# http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.devel/13999
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
find-links = http://dist.repoze.org/
