Numpy gets it's byte order from the macro WORDS_BIGENDIAN defined by Python.
Try

$[charris at f9 numpy.git]$ grep -r -n WORDS_BIGENDIAN /usr/include/python2.5/*
/usr/include/python2.5/pyconfig-32.h:902:#define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 1
/usr/include/python2.5/pyconfig-32.h:905:/* #undef WORDS_BIGENDIAN */

or the OS X equivalent.
