Perhaps 'plot' is not the ideal interface for your purposes. How about
something like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import matplotlib
from matplotlib.lines import Line2D
import pylab
import numpy as npy

def myplot(ax, matrix, linestyle, color):
    for column in range(1, matrix.shape[1]):
        line = Line2D(matrix[:,0], matrix[:,column],
                      linestyle=linestyle, color=color)
        ax.add_line(line)

colors = 'brk'

for d in range(2,5):
    fig=pylab.figure()
    ax=fig.add_subplot(111)
    matrix = npy.random.rand(d,d)
    matrix[:,0] = npy.linspace(0, 1, num=d)
    myplot(ax, matrix, '-', colors[d-2])
    
pylab.show()
