not sure if its a bug or was just caused by a failed installation attempt

It seems that the only thing needed to do was to :

sudo port clean py27-matplot

and then

sudo port install py27-matplot

Right, cleaning and trying again is the first ​prerequisite before filing a ticket. Also, remember to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac, fill in the Port field, and Cc the maintainer of the port.
