I'm not sure I understand your question. bdist_mpkg creates a binary 
package from a python package created with distutils, so it doesn't need 
to include the compiler. However, you may be asking about shared libs 
that come with g77. In that case, I don't think you can get it to 
include them. This leaves two options:

1) Package up the required libs another way, as a tarball or whatever.

2) statically link everything that isn't a system library --that's what 
I did for matplotlib

It's also possible to include the shared libs in a package, but I don't 
think bdist_mpkg does that for you. However, it's built on the py2app 
machinery, which can include shared libs in a application bundle, so it 
may be possible.

Charles Moad created a matplotlib package that includes the shared libs 
required, you might try to find out how he did it.

Also be sure to check out Robert Kern's MacEnthon project as well.
