build log

On my hardened ~amd64 box I see the following error.

~/cvsPortage/gentoo-x86/dev-python/pygame $ ebuild pygame-1.9.2_pre20120101-r2.ebuild clean compile

>>> Source compiled.

So could not replicate and it's not a bug but something different in your system.  You have the same Python 3.3.5, not that, so perhaps some other version conflict or outside chance a gcc flag setting but I doubt it.

patch to remove problematic nop

I just ran into this issue again on a new setup. I applied the attached patch which fixed the issue for me. The affected functionality is for Mac/Darwin, so I think it would be safe to apply this patch in general.

What version of dev-python/setuptools do you have installed?

This should be fixed in 1.9.3 now in the tree.
