I installed h5py using macports: http://www.macports.org/.  I don't know if
it will be a sufficiently up to date version for you and it may take a while
to build all the dependencies (including some you may already have
non-macports versions of).  It was very easy to use though.  One command,
wait a couple hours, and h5py was ready to go.

Cheers,
Ethan
