You can easily upgrade to NumPy 1.3 on MacOS -- however you also have to
upgrade SciPy at the same time. SciPy is tightly bound to the NumPy
development. It is hardly possible to update one without the other. This
fact is independent of the actual OS used.

Except for a few minor pieces PyMVPA is pretty much ignorant of the
NumPy/SciPy version.
