I don't have cairo on my system yet so this is not surprising but ./ configure lets me go into making without warning for anything. If not having cairo breaks the build there should be a configure check or a switch (--with[out]-cairo).
I am stuck on this as well. I was (or perhaps still am) intending to install the 'package' that provides cairo-pdf.h, so that I can get on, but this may be a bit tricky - the explanation is the same as the one on the page http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/NativeUIMacOsX - as the ability to provide the PDF backend is picked up automatically when configuring cairo.
Perhaps the short term solution is to wrap the problematic code in
#if FOR_THRILL_SEEKERS ... #endif
I agree that something in the configure script should select the back-end et cetera, but I am not sure what form this take. A fully automated test might be better than forcing the dev to fully understand what this is about.
