>Description:
Configure of graphics/cairo fails due to an incorrect version of pixman; >= 0.10.0 is required.  pixman, while present in the FreeBSD 7.0 base configuration, is an older version.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a fresh install of FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT (actually, the problem existed in 6.2 also, IIRC), build some port (say, emacs) that requires cairo.  After cairo is downloaded, its configuration fails due to an insufficent version of pixman.
>Fix:
Install port x11/pixman first.  This installs the requisite version of pixman.

This may actually be a problem with the base configuration of FreeBSD 7.0.
