You suggesting a T on the back of the bulkhead and capping the top and then drilling a hole to insert tubing into?
Its actually a lot easier than you would think -- a 90 degree street elbow with a hole drilled in the outer crook of the bend, with the tubing in the hole The quckie way to ensure it wont seep is some silicon, the less convenient but better way is to use a rubber collar of some sort that fits the hole diameter on the outside, and the tube diameter on the inside. Very simple, very effective.

Another option is to enlarge your plumbing after the bulkheads -- use a 1 to 1.5 inch 'reducer' to a 90 degree 1.5 inch street elbow, with the same respiration added as above -- should keep it nice and quiet. As long as you're not trying to push an insane return pump back from the fuge, you should be golden. I'd think 300gph or so would be about right -- perhaps a quietone 2100 or similar
