This looks like it has nothing to do with PyQT or anything else, 
actually, but is a raw py2app issue. So the first thing I'd do is try a 
really simple example. That will make it easier for others to try and 
reproduce the failure as well.

Taking a guess, I'd say you're getting a zlib from macports that may 
rely on something else in macports that other users don't have.

Again, I"'d avoid macports for something you want to re-distribute.
