Maybe configure should take care of this, and enable cairo only under
the condition that xft is enabled too?

There is a similar problem with --with-cairo --without-png, by the
way. When linking temacs:
image.o:(.data+0x90): undefined reference to `png_load'

In fact, our whole app-editors/emacs-vcs package is experimental.
We usually reveal any upstream configure options as USE flags.
(After all, this is not an experimental branch, but git master.)

Of course, I can mask the cairo flag in addition, if you think that's
appropriate.
