I know, installing PIL is not funny at all, and this is the main point for I want to make a redistributable app via py2app.
In the meantime, you can look here for some hints; basicly you have to:
Install libjpeg

Code:

curl -O http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v8c.tar.gz
tar -xvzf jpegsrc.v8c.tar.gz
cd jpeg-8c
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ../

Install freetype

Code:

curl -O http://ftp.igh.cnrs.fr/pub/nongnu/freetype/freetype-2.4.5.tar.gz
tar -xvzf freetype-2.4.5.tar.gz
cd freetype-2.4.5
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ../

and then install PIL.
As you get it installed, you should not have anymore that error.
Unrar and rarfile.py are included in the droplet, so you should not worry about missing them (I put them in requirements section for the bare python script users).
Let me know if it works!
