Note that cairo 1.4.0 has been released and that the cairo portfile  
will soon be updated -- just as soon as we can figure out how to  
enable the quartz backend without having to disable the xlib backend,  
which is unfortunately the current situation with 1.4.0 [1]. 1.4.0  
has completely replaced the quartz backend with what used to be  
called the nquartz (or "new quartz") backend. You'll have to see  
whether this new 1.4.0 quartz is still compatible with gtk2's quartz  
requirements.
