Those are completely spurious warnings that don't really mean anything. 
  Modulefinder is stupid.

There is an example in pygame CVS: 
pygame/examples/macosx/aliens_app_example that shows how to use 
bundlebuilder2 to make a standalone bundle.  Your example isn't 
actually standalone.  You can get bundlebuilder2 by installing:
