Most likely it's just an updated matplotlib-1.2.0-setup.patch that's needed here.
Comment 2 MarisN 2013-08-19 10:23:26 UTC 
Just for the record - there's an upstream issue with a patch: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1939

The old code being replaced isn't present in the new setup.py, no longer easily applied.

The patch cited in the pull request appears to be effective for the build as well as the test(s).

dev-python/matplotlib $ sudo ebuild matplotlib-1.3.0.ebuild clean merge

>>> dev-python/matplotlib-1.3.0 merged.

ebuild, pulling in the patch

I had the same issue, found the upstream patch, put it as "matplotlib-1.3.0-gtk-test.patch" into my local repository and used the attached ebuild. Now it merges fine.
