Is there any way to hunt event mons that are exclusive to one gender (ie surfer machop, princess smoochum) besides using an event pass/buying eggs with event points? Would using Ditto work for such pokemon?

Ditto works. Pokémon that have the same primary Egg Group also work.

Quote from WikiThe best chance to get an Event egg by breeding is to put two Event Pokémon of the same kind into the Daycare.

If you pair an Event Pokémon with its Non-Event counterpart, the chance of getting an Event egg is lower than if both parents are Event Pokémon. [This would work for Surfer Machop]

If you pair an Event Pokémon with a Pokémon of another species, the chance to get an Event egg will be even lower than if you use the Event with its Non-Event counterpart. [Ditto]

If you pair two different Event Pokémon, the chance to get one certain Event egg will be even lower than the pairings above.
