Software installed in /usr/local unfortunately can interfere with  
software installed by MacPorts, so please do not install things in / 
usr/local while using MacPorts. Please see:

Since we already have working ports for cairo and pango I would refer  
you to those rather than expending effort troubleshooting your manual  
installation. That is, after all, what MacPorts is for: to make it  
unnecessary for you to have to figure out how to compile things  
manually.

With cairo @1.8.6_4 and pango @1.22.4_3 installed, I do see  
libpangocairo-1.0.0.2203.1.dylib.

With cairo @1.8.6_4 and pango-devel @1.23.0_0 (to which I just  
updated the pango-devel port) I see libpangocairo-1.0.0.dylib. So I  
don't know what version that is.

Try pango-devel instead of pango. You'll have to wait an hour from  
the time of this message and then "sudo port sync" first. Then "sudo  
port deactivate pango" and "sudo port install pango-devel". Then see  
if jamin compiles. If it still produces the same message, you'll have  
to ask on the pango mailing list what version of pango provides  
version 2204.0.0 of libpangocairo. Or ask the developers of jamin  
what version of pango and cairo they require.
