Hello. I'm the maintainer of cairo and pango for MacPorts. We noticed  
that cairo would not build when the 64-bit architectures (x86_64 or  
ppc64) were requested. It seems cairo uses ATSUI functions, which I  
think are part of Carbon, which is not available on 64-bit. The fix  
that was proposed to you in April 2008 was to disable those functions  
when compiling 64-bit:

MacPorts has now incorporated this patch:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16007

Is there any objection to including it in the official cairo sources?  
There hasn't been any discussion in the ticket.
