Some self-followup:

I was able to get the build to compile and install and pass most of the 
tests with the following change to the basedir_map dict (currently line 
147) in setupext.py:

         'darwin': ['/opt/X11', '/usr/local/', '/usr', '/opt/local'],

i.e. /opt/X11 in the front. I assume this accounts for my XQuartz X11 
install. I think both of those changes (i.e., usr->opt and moving to the 
front of the path) are necessary.

With this setup, I get lots of knownfails and a few real 
"ImageComparisonFailure" ones -- see below for the output. In all three 
cases, examining the images, it's clear that the system is not using 
styled fonts.

(I have no idea how these failures compare to my previous system with a 
dmg installation of matplotlib as I never ran the tests on it...)

Also, as mentioned previously, on one of my machines (but, strangely, 
not both) I also had to change CC and CXX to force use of clang (i.e., 
one worked with standard gcc).  The test failures are the same in both 
cases, although, for what it's worth, the on-screen font rendering does 
appear different on the two machines, no doubt owing to slightly 
different installation histories of the various non-apple installed unix 
and other libraries...

Yours,

Andrew
