I made binaries (on Mac OS X 10.5) using my instructions:

They are available from here, for now:
<http://www.astro.washington.edu/users/rowen/python/>

please test them. If they work then I hope the matplotlib folks will 
consider serving them as official "for 3rd-party Python" binaries
(as opposed to the current ones they are serving, which are for Apple's 
Python).
