I suggest doing it the way the pango port's quartz variant does it. For example:


pre-configure {
    set cairo_quartz_pc ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig/cairo-quartz.pc
    if {![file exists ${cairo_quartz_pc}]} {
        ui_error "cairo must be installed with the quartz variant."
        return -code error "incompatible cairo installation"
    }
}
