Yes.  Use a 'dest_base' key in the dictionary, like so:

> setup(windows = [{"script":"myprogram.py",
>                    "icon_resources":[(0,"nabbitt.ico")],
                     "dest_base": "MyBestProgram",
>                     "other_resources": [(24,1,manifest)]}
...

'dest_base' is the basename of the destination program that py2exe creates.
