You can use Pkg.checkout("package-name","version/branch") (read:
http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.4/stdlib/pkg/#Base.Pkg.checkout)
Unfortunately you need to do this not only on the package itself, but also
on the dependencies.
I recommend to open an issue on
https://github.com/stevengj/PyPlot.jl/issues and browse there, if your
specific error situation already has a workaround.
