Found it. py2app has a 'frameworks' option to let you specify frameworks, and also dylibs. My setup.py file now looks like this:

from setuptools import setup

DATA_FILES = []
OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True,
           'packages' : ['lxml'],
           'frameworks' : ['/usr/local/libxml2-2.7.2/lib/libxml2.2.7.2.dylib']
          }

setup(app=MyApp.py,
      data_files=DATA_FILES,
      options={'py2app' : OPTIONS},
      setup_requires=['py2app'])

and that's fixed it.

Thanks for the suggestions that led me here.
