OK, so a guy on poppler's irc told me "bad inkscape svn for using a private header".
He said it should use the glib frontend for that functionality.
The poppler PDF importer was coded to introduce the least possible number of new package dependencies into Inkscape, so that's why we're using CairoOutputDev instead of calling the glib wrapper functions to generate a page preview using CairoOutputDev... But if we took poppler-glib on our dependency list, modifying the pdf import dialog code to use poppler-glib for preview would be straightforward.
