The jag python will certainly not work, you'll need a framework 
build  of a recent python (preferably from the 2.3alpha branch). 
Trust me on this one; it's possible, but requires some serious 
WindowServer hacking in undocumented don't-touch-me land... that 
will likely be totally different b/n 10.1 and 10.2 and will probably 
change again.

Here's what I recommend:
# checkout latest CVS python, build and install with:
./configure --enable-framework ; make ; sudo make frameworkinstall

Compile/Install dependencies (libpng, zlib, etc.. whatever you need)

Checkout the SDL12, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, SDL_ttf2 packages from 
CVS, tar zxvf PBProjects.tar.gz in each of them.. opt-cmd-e (edit 
target) and change @executable_path/../Frameworks/ to 
/Library/Frameworks/ and build away

Compile/Install PIL and Numeric

Should be safe to install pygame from there.  If you don't have a
sdl-config in your path, snag it from my ancient distribution or
something, or poke around in the SDL12 dir to see if it's there.
