It can be done, and it is not that difficult. Bundlebuilder.py will do  
most of the work for you, and the only special thing you need to do is  
add the libwx_macd library and resource file in via the "libs" option  
(if you use opengl you will need to add that library as well). Here's a  
bundlebuilder script I use to build my wxPython application, hopefully  
it is mostly self-explanatory:

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
------
import bundlebuilder, os

#I set this to make adding subfolders into the package easier
packageroot = "/Users/kevino/oss/eclass/eclass_builder"

myapp = bundlebuilder.AppBuilder(verbosity=1)
myapp.mainprogram = os.path.join(packageroot, "editor.py")
myapp.standalone = 1
myapp.name = "EClass.Builder"
myapp.includePackages.append("encodings")
myapp.includePackages.append("_xmlplus")
myapp.resources.append(os.path.join(packageroot, "about"))
myapp.resources.append(os.path.join(packageroot, "autorun"))
myapp.resources.append(os.path.join(packageroot, "Graphics"))
#... add other necessary folders/files...

myapp.libs.append("/usr/local/lib/libwx_macd-2.4.0.dylib")
myapp.libs.append("/usr/local/lib/libwx_macd-2.4.0.rsrc")

myapp.setup()
myapp.build()
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
--------

HTH!
