Solution 1:

Seems there are some binary incompatible issue. Maybe you can download the source and compile it: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

Solution 2:

The solution for me, after a lot of searching, is described in this link, using homwbrew and pip.

• install XQuarts if not already installed from the site
• install homebrew (link here)
• install python3 with the command brew install python3 in the terminal
• install the Mercurial version control system: brew install mercurial
• do the same for the git version control system, which is needed by a dependency package: brew install git
• Now install all the dependencies of Pygame: brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf smpeg portmidi
• install pip with the command /usr/local/share/python3/easy_install pip (in my case the folder was /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.3_2/bin)
• /usr/local/share/python3/pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
