Your error does not seem similar to the one Jason encountered.  
Jason's error was "/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/ 
Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Headers/MachineExceptions.h:255:  
error: declaration does not declare anything", was a result of  
running on Leopard, and was fixed by modifying the cairomm Portfile  
to work around the Leopard behavior.

Your error is "cairo-quartz-surface.c:144: error: 'RTLD_DEFAULT'  
undeclared (first use in this function)"

Googling for that, I found this thread:

http://www.zeroc.com/forums/patches/408-patch-build-ice-1-2-0-macos- 
x-10-3-a.html

It suggests that you may have something installed in /usr/local,  
specifically /usr/local/include/dlfcn.h, which is interfering with  
the (in this case cairo) build process.

When using MacPorts, it is recommended not to have anything in /usr/ 
local. What do you have there any why? Can you install it with  
MacPorts instead?

Move /usr/local aside (by renaming it to /usr/local-off for example),  
clean cairo, and try installing again, and it should work.
