My installer that Jason suggested was built for python.org python. I 
doubt it would work with any other python, though it was worth trying.

(The lack of pygame for Anaconda is probably the main reason I don't use 
Anaconda on my Mac. It is certainly a nice distribution.)

Depending on what packages you need, you might find that python.org 
python suffices. You can get binary installers for numpy, scipy, 
matplotlib, pygame and PIL (some of them from the site Jason pointed to).

Another option is to build pygame from source. It is some work to get 
all the prerequisites built (depending on how much of pygame you 
actually need).

You could also try PySDL, which is easier to build and works with SDL 2.
