Curious. xrender declares a dependency on xorg-renderproto. So at this  
point, MacPorts should have tried to build xorg-renderproto. I don't  
know why it is trying to skip everything up through the install phase  
and skip right to the activate phase. Try cleaning xorg-renderproto  
and try again?

sudo port clean xorg-renderproto
sudo port install cairo
