really a question for the matplotlib list, but:

There was recently a binary posted to the standard matplotlib page.

It is for the python.org python -- that supports the widest audience, 
and can make-re-distributable binaries.

So if you've installed the pythonorg python (not the one Apple ships), 
it shouold be an easy point and click install:

Look here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.0/

for:

matplotlib-1.0.0-python.org-py2.6-macosx10.4.dmg
