Just recently we changed the way we link to blas, it is now all through local/lib/pkgconfig/blas.pc. So it will be massively easier to change the underlying blas implementation, and we are preparing to work with openblas. And MKL shouldn't be too hard either.
We do have a MKL license to use it for developing and testing Sage, email me if you want the serial number.
