Since at least blender 2.77, blender ships with a mobile binary of python.

On OSX this is in blender.app/Contents/Resources/2.77/python/bin/python3.5m

you can download the get-pip.py file and run it using this binary, it will
install pip and create executables for pip and easy_install in this
directory.

then you can run this pip executable as you normally would.
