It could be a conflict in the definition of "Status" in the
headers from Carbon and X11, which context.cc is including
at the same time.

I solved the double definition of "Cursor" and "Picture" with the
following trick:


------------8<----------------------------
#define Cursor X11_Cursor          <------
#define Picture X11_Picture        <------

#include <cairomm/xlib_surface.h>

#undef Cursor                      <------
#undef Picture                     <------

#include <cairomm/quartz_surface.h>
-----------8<-----------------------------


as you can see in: <http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/graphics/cairomm/files/patch-cairomm-context.cc.diff?rev=36082 
 >)
undefine


I can't test on a Mac Intel but you could try to re-define
and un-define "Status" before including the Carbon headers.
