Looks like it's checking for an X server, i.e. X11/X.org.

Running the command "port deps cairo" shows that Cairo requires xrender 
to build; "port deps xrender" shows XFree86, which is one of the 
standard X servers, as a dependency.

Do you have Apple's X11 / X11 SDK installed? I believe that should 
satisfy the dependency.
