Yes, certainly. matplotlib 0.87.7 was released soon after NumPy 1.0, but 
primarily to provide compatibility for the Win / Mac crowd, since 
NumPy's ABI changed between 1.0rc2 and 1.0rc3. But the API has only 
changed in minor ways, and I'm fairly confident that any of the last few 
releases of matplotlib (0.87.{5,6,7}) will compile and run fine against 
NumPy 1.0. I guess we'd need a version bump for the soname.

For a complete list of changes since 1.0rc1, see

By the way, the maintenance release NumPy 1.0.1 is now out.
