I guess I'm blind. Here is the naming scheme used by numpy and scipy:
scipy-0.7.2-py2.6-python.org.dmg
numpy-1.4.1-py2.6-python.org.dmg

One option is to simply adopt that (replacing python.org with Apple for 
your binary). But I really don't like omitting the minimum version of 
Mac OS X it works with (not to mention omitting "mac" altogether!), so I 
recommend the following, where I moved the python source before the 
version of python because otherwise the Apple in 
"py2.6-Apple-macosx10.6" might seem to refer to macosx instead of python:

matplotlib-0.99.3-Apple-py2.6-macosx10.6.dmg
for your existing binary, and
matplotlib-0.99.3-python-py2.5-macosx10.4.dmg
matplotlib-0.99.3-python-py2.6-macosx10.4.dmg
for mine.
