It's mentioned under the default environments here:

    http://codespeak.net/tox/example/basic.html#a-simple-tox-ini-default-environments

otherwise there is nothing special:

    tox -e pypy

should work, given you have a pypy interpreter from pypy-1.4 in your PATH.
otherwise you need to specify it like usual:

    [testenv:pypy]
    basepython=path/to/pypy

Seems that pypy and virtualenv do not play well here - i assume you
use it on OSX.  pypy-1.4 is supposed  to work with virtualenv 
without patches (i changed the web site now). it works on linux for me.
Does a manual "virtualenv -p path/to/pypy pypy1" work for you?
(i.e. no distribute, no --no-site-packages etc.)
