Wrong place.

setup(app=[...], options=dict(py2app=dict(packages=['numpy'])))

You might want to add argv_emulation to that py2app options dict. But  
that probably only works on PPC in 0.3.1 and may be entirely broken  
on both architectures in the trunk (new entirely untested argv  
emulation code).

Well, your setup.py was broken. Barring a recipe for numpy, you'd  
have gotten the same results with any version of py2app.

Expected behavior. The mpkg isn't going to contain the dependencies  
(setuptools, altgraph, bdist_mpkg, macholib, modulegraph). Don't do  
that, use only easy_install/setuptools to install it. I probably  
won't "fix" that any time soon.
