John, I've seen this problem happen before with someone else; the person's X11 installation for some reason included the file libfreetype.6.3.dylib but not librfreetype.6.3.dylib. Did you install X11 before or after installing the Xcode development tools? Also, if you had to install X11 yourself, I'm assuming you're using OS X Tiger (or at least not 10.5.x)? I'd recommend trying a reinstall of X11 (if you're not using Leopard) and then Xcode in your situation, but a quicker workaround is to install freetype yourself (thus putting a copy in /usr/local) and build matplotlib from source rather than use the installer package.
