 From looking at cvs logs, it seems to me that the vtkLocal example (and 
the other Examples) come from older archeological strata, below the 
great fix for Python on Mac OS X on 28 Aug 2003. The 
Examples/Build/vtkLocal/CMakeLists.txt just has the 2 lines

     ADD_LIBRARY(${PROJECT_NAME}Python MODULE ${vtkLocalPYTHON_SRCS})
     TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${PROJECT_NAME}Python vtkCommonPython 
${PROJECT_NAME})

where more recent CMakeLists.txt files have a special treatment for 
APPLE. From Common/CMakeLists.txt:

   IF (APPLE)
     ADD_LIBRARY(vtk${KIT}PythonD ${KitPython_SRCS} 
${Kit_PYTHON_EXTRA_SRCS})
     ADD_LIBRARY(vtk${KIT}Python MODULE vtk${KIT}PythonInit.cxx)
     TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(vtk${KIT}PythonD vtk${KIT} ${KIT_PYTHON_LIBS} 
${PYTHON_LIBRARY})
     TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(vtk${KIT}Python vtk${KIT}PythonD)
     INSTALL_TARGETS(/lib/vtk vtk${KIT}PythonD)
   ELSE (APPLE)
     ADD_LIBRARY(vtk${KIT}Python MODULE ${KitPython_SRCS} 
${Kit_PYTHON_EXTRA_SRCS})
     TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES (vtk${KIT}Python vtk${KIT} ${KIT_PYTHON_LIBS})
   ENDIF(APPLE)

Did you try to change the vtkLocal/CMakeLists.txt analogously?
