Here's something I've been wondering: is it ok to port Matlab
functions over to python? If so, then it's maybe an afternoon's work
to get eigs working, given eigs.m and python Arpack wrappers.

I'm 99% sure it would *not* be kosher to copy-paste their code
directly, but it's not a copy paste job because of the differences
between Python and .m. So it seems a grayer area to me.

I haven't the faintest idea. What did the EULA say? What about a copyright? This sounds like a job for a lawyer, but I would guess it would be a bad idea unless the code is from a third party with a free license.
