Ah.  You want to get py2app from macports, which will bring macholib as
well.  I'm putting together an end-to-end document about how to setup
the whole environment, plus the changes you need to make to macports to
build relocatable libraries.  I'm not quite ready to share it yet, but
when I do, maybe it will help.

The other option is, of course, to just build a package (wrapping up
/opt/local, but with a different name) instead of an app, which doesn't
require relocatable libraries and would likely be easier.  It's not
quite as nice for the user though.
