The latest version of Pycairo is 1.10.0. When installing it for Python 2.5 you get 1.8.2 presumably because of some incompatibility. The Makefile.in patching happens on 10.5 systems, but there is an oversight in that the Makefile.in location changed somewhere between 1.8.2 and 1.10.0. So this error is exclusive to py25-cairo on 10.5 systems.

However, it looks like you might have a hard time getting PyCAM to run under Python 2.5: http://sourceforge.net/p/pycam/discussion/860183/thread/fc71aef3?page=1
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/33389

Is there any chance you could try installing this under a newer Python?
