Thank you both for your helpful responses.  Here's what I've done and  
how far I've gotten with it.

I downloaded and built pixman to get a more recent version.

I installed more recent versions of libpng and libjpeg.

I changed my configure line to:

./configure --enable-quartz --enable-atsui --disable-xlib --disable- 
freetype

That seemed to do it, I was able to build cairo and pycairo.  But  
when I tried to use pycairo I got this error:

 >>> import cairo
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/site-packages/cairo/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

tion

lib/python2.5/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so
   Expected in: flat namespace

Since I don't know right off the bat whether the flat-namespace  
problem comes from cairo or from the python wrapper, I ran "make  
test" in the cairo directory.

85 of 118 tests failed

I can provide further details of which tests failed (or for a shorter  
list, which ones passed).  But it doesn't look like I have a happy  
build.

I think I'm going to try to get my build of Python to use the  
Macports version of cairo and see if I can make progress that way.
