Fink project (see <http://fink.sourceforge.net/>) offers Numeric already linked against Apple's vecLib. Here is the output about that package:
[ibook:~/Installs/IPython] andrea% fink describe numeric-py22 Information about 2973 packages read in 5 seconds.
numeric-py22-23.0-1: Multidim'l numerical arrays for Python, using Apple vecLib Links against optimized Apple vecLib BLAS/LAPACK, instead of using slower, built-in blas and lapack routines. Should now be just as fast as numeric-atlas. . Web site: http://www.pfdubois.com/numpy . Maintainer: Jeffrey Whitaker <jsw@cdc.noaa.gov>
I think you can ask the maintainer for more information or look at the Fink's installation script if you know how debs system works. Here it is a link to the scripts: <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/fink/dists/10.2/ unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/numeric-py22-23.0-1.info> <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/fink/dists/10.2/ unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/numeric-py22-23.0-1.patch> Hope this help.

Folks, I got this report on Numeric as included with MacPython (through the package manager) and it looks promising. But: I'm building Numeric simply by running setup.py, so in order to get the added performance Numeric's setup.py would need to be taught about veclib.
Is anyone willing to look into this?
