Well, it's expected that cairo would install before pango, because  
pango claims cairo as a dependency. Cairo does not make use of pango,  
but if pango detects cairo, it will build the pangocairo library,  
a.k.a. "Pango built with Cairo support."

So hopefully after you removed pango and tried again, it installed  
cairo (if it wasn't there already) and then installed pango with  
cairo support.

I don't know what that's about. I see one other occurrence of this  
problem reported:

http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2006-September/ 
000022.html

The only solution mentioned in that thread is to use gtk 2.8 instead  
of gtk 2.10. There is a gtk28 port for that purpose. However, other  
ports are likely to depend on the gtk2 port, not the gtk28 port,  
making it rather difficult to install other software that depends on  
gtk2.

Perhaps this is actually a problem with gtk 2.10 (a bug with the  
actual gtk software, I mean, not with the gtk2 MacPorts port). I  
looked in the gtk bug tracker [1] and didn't see this problem  
reported there, so maybe you should report the problem there. Be sure  
to mention what version of gcc and Mac OS X you are using. Perhaps  
this is a problem that they can fix.


> Do I need to start reverting more Portfiles?

You could revert the gtk2 portfile to a port when it was a 2.8  
version, to get you going here. But that's not a long-term solution.  
Long-term, we need to figure out what the problem is and correct the  
current version of these portfiles so others do not experience these  
problems.
