I enabled Kajiki in a TG 2.1 project by changing the <projectname>/config/app_cfg.py file. After the line

base_config.renderers.append('genshi')

just add

base_config.renderers.append('kajiki')

You can later use a Kajiki template from any of your actions by decorating it with something like

 @expose('kajiki:projectname.templates.sometemplate')

You can also set Kajiki as the default template language by changing the base_config.default_renderer assignment in app_cfg.py. If you do this, you won't need the kajiki: prefix when decorating, e.g.,

@expose('projectname.templates.sometemplate')

will suffice.

After this works for you, changing setup.py to add a Kajiki dependency is probably all you need in order to have a working project. The only thing I haven't tried as yet is i18n; I'll probably update this answer when I do.
