Looks like you burned out all of those low-value resistors. The transistor might be shot too. Those will need to be replaced. Just test continuity on every component, and the ones that show an open circuit will likely need to be replaced.
The power supply should have burned out and shut down before the voltage could be passed on to more sensitive circuits. The logic board should be unaffected, as it gets it's power well after the mains. As DogCow suggests you should be able to start replacing the burned-out PSU components, checking continuity as you go until you restore normal functionality.
pretty much everything shown in your picture needs replaced, including those 2 transistors. God only knows what else it would have taken out in the primary circuit.

There should be no damage to the logic board or the transformer. There will be a large number of fried components on the analog board though. Make sure you check the power supply rectifier diodes and chopper transistor as well as the obviously damaged parts.
[edit] be very careful how you power it up for the first time if you decide to repair the board yourself. Ideally, use a variac. If you don't have one, an old TV techo trick is to put a 100w light globe in series with the mains (might want to try 60w for 110v?). If "bad things" happen when you power up, the light globe will come on brightly and hopefully prevent everything getting blown up for a second time. If the globe glows dimly and the Mac boots, it's all good!
