TkAgg with Aqua-based Tkinter works for me on Mac OS X.  (That's
with matplotlib 0.54 -- I haven't tried the latest CVS with fixes
for dynamic updates, but am happy to hear it will be faster!). 

The Aqua-based Tkinter is not great, and I would be perfectly happy
using X11-based Tkinter.  I simply installed the Tkinter with the
MacPython and its PackageManager.  Is X11-based Tkinter available in
such a package, or does it require a source build??  A source build
would be OK with me, but might make it difficult to distribute apps.
