Did you try Anthony's suggestion?  I think that would be

 Field('department', 'reference department',
 requires=IS_IN_DB(db, "department.id <http://db.department.id/>", 
'%(department_name)s')),


(I gather this postpones evaluation of the reference long enough for the 
other table to be defined.)
