I've had trouble with similar problems like the DLLs, and have settled 
some of them by (1) never using the default font in a compiled program 
and (2) sticking to Python 2.5 and matching Pygame. I've tried relying 
on a simple setup.py rather than some of the fancier workarounds some 
people have been able to use. The latest version I've been able to dig 
up from my code looks like this (and reminds me how long it's been):
<code>
# setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(author="Kris Schnee",
      author_email="kschnee@xxxxxxxxxx",
      version="2009.9.26",
      license="GPLv3 or MIT",
      windows=[{"script":"morningside_server.py",
                "icon_resources":[(0,"beach.ico")],
                }])
</code>

That might be a useful template.
