I've never found one. I have two tricks (working together) I use when  
I build software to distribute:
1. After building my distribution, I run a script   
"testdependencies" (attached to this message) that uses otool -L to  
ensure all dependencies are in Apple-maintained locations (i.e. no / 
Library, no /usr/local, etc).

2. If this script returns a warning (about one out of two times:-) I  
do a temporary "sudo chmod 0 /usr/local /Library/Frameworks/ 
Python ..." and rebuild the whole distribution. If there's anything  
that I really need from /Library or /usr/local I copy it into the  
bundle and mangle the name with install_name_tool. For Python-based  
projects py2app can do this for you, too.
