No. There is currently no Aqua front-end being developed that I am aware of.

Have you any interest in developing one for Aqua?  I'd suggest an AquaAgg/MacAgg 
backend, i.e. use Agg to do the rendering and Aqua to do the windowing, such as 
is done with GtkAgg, WXAgg, and TkAgg.  Once the GUI wrapper is done, most of 
matplotlib comes along for free.
