I built such a whl package for the v0.13.3 tag of scipy, delocated it,
"brew uninstall gfortran" to make sure that the dynlib loader would
not be able to find the system libs, installed the resulting whl
package in a new virtualenv and ran the tests:

$ python -c "import scipy; scipy.test()"
[...]
Ran 8775 tests in 123.315s

OK (KNOWNFAIL=113, SKIP=221)

This is built on OSX 10.9. You can find the resulting wheel package on
my dropbox:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5743203/sklearn/wheelhouse/scipy-0.13.3-cp34-cp34m-macosx_10_6_intel.whl

If scipy maintainers would like to upload such wheel packages for
scipy 0.13.3 I can also prepare them for Python 2.7 and Python 3.3.
