You are probably aware of this, and even if not I'm not sure whether it 
helps, but here it goes anyway: did you add an "archs='ppc,i386'" to the 
py2app options? Before I did that too much stuff got thinned away for me 
too.

Example options from setup.py:

if sys.argv[1] == 'py2app':
     import py2app
     setupOptions.update(dict(app=['taskcoach.py'],
         options=dict(py2app=dict(archs='ppc,i386', argv_emulation=True,
             compressed=True, dist_dir=builddir, optimize=2,
             iconfile='icons.in/taskcoach.icns',
             packages=['i18n']))))

Hope that is of use, Frank
