Nope. An uncompressed HFS+ dmg works, but you would never use one for 
software distribution (nor have I ever seen a gzipped or bz2'ed dmg 
file anywhere) I think an app inside a zip file would be less confusing 
to a Mac user with no PC background than would be a gzipped uncompressed 
dmg.

>From my googlings, nobody seems to know how dmg compression works, so 
unless you are on a mac and can run hdiutil, there does not seem to be 
any way to create a proper dmg file.
