I'm pretty sure that PIL will get bundled in if you use py2app. I know
py2exe bundles everything needed for Windows binaries. I actually use
GUI2Exe to bundle my applications. It's a nice GUI to py2exe, py2app
and several other packagers. You can get it here: http://code.google.com/p/gui2exe/

Note that I do not have a Mac and thus, have not used py2app...see
their docs for complete info.
