Someone asked this question on the PyQt mailing list, too:

  http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2010-February/025827.html

I believe it was also asked on the #pyqt IRC channel on freenode. I think
I have previously referred people with py2exe/PyQt issues to this page on
the PyQt Wiki:

  http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Py2exeAndPyQt

If you can somehow convince py2exe to include the QtSvg module (and
presumably the libQtSvg library as well) then perhaps that will solve
this problem.
