This occurred to me recently. Fortunately you can find precompiled
blas, scipy and numpy (pkg_add -r py-numpy works). But i was out of luck
with matplotlib, which required pkg_adding gcc-42 and then compiling
tons of stuff. One of them (agg, i think, requires DISPLAY to be set
and accessible in the configure script !!!) hence breaks the build for
matplotlib.
