No worries -- OSX is a nightmare.  First try this:

  make build_osx105

and if that works, you can

  python setup.py install

If that doesn't work, try

  cd release/osx
  # read the readme, then
  make fetch_deps dependencies
  # install bdist_wininst as instructed
  make installers

the latter sequence is what I do when building the installers, and
will grab all the dependencies, build them from src with the right
flags,  and use them instead of the system wide installed ones.

There is no reason for you to go through this for a simple pure python
patch, but I am interested in figuring out a way for regular OSX users
to be able to build mpl, so am happy to use you as a crash test dummy
:-)
