For a simply test, you could simply copy 'mpl-data' folder in 'site-packages\matplotlib' to your app folder. As far as I know, 'mpl-data' cannot be bundled into the single executable so this has to be included in your binary distribution as a folder.

I used py2exe via GUI2Exe and could freeze my app that uses matplotlib + numpy/scipy + wx (so obviously wxagg backend). I didn't need to include _tkagg (which is explicitly excluded in GUI2Exe default setting which worked for me).
