Hmm, that strange. All the fonts it says aren't found are fonts that should be included in the Matplotlib install. I have pretty much the same setup as you (OSX 10.6, python 2.6), although I'm on Matplotlib trunk. Is it possible your install got screwed up some how. Have you tried a clean install of Matplotlib? If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I won't be of much help, since I can't really reproduce this on my system. Maybe, someone who knows the font system better can help.
