You can set that up in your setup.py (sic!), but it's hard to find how.

The py2app docs are no help:
http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html
Documentation for py2exe is better (and mostly valid for py2app, too):
http://www.py2exe.org/
e.g. http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/PassingOptionsToPy2Exe

You can use the command line options in a dict like:

opts = {
	'py2app' : {
		'includes' : ('os', 'sys'),
	}
}

setup (
	options = opts
)

Did you try just to import all the modules in your main script?  
(Don't know if py2app optimizes that away...)
