Yes below is a simple script that works.  The key was that pygame uses
freesansbold.ttf as the default font and that is not copied over in the
normal py2exe process.  See the end of the setup script.

#!/usr/bin/env python
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, pygame
import glob, shutil

setup(windows=["mahjong.py"],
name='GoPets Mahjong',
version='0.3.1',
description='Mahjong for GoPets Users',
author='Erik Bethke',
author_email='erik at gopetslive.com',
url='www.erikbethke.com',
py_modules=['mahjong','background','board','tile','textBox']
)

shutil.copytree('data', 'dist/data')
shutil.copyfile('freesansbold.ttf', 'dist/freesansbold.ttf')
