Something is wrong here:

>checking for FONTCONFIG... no
>no
...
>checking for CAIRO... yes
>checking which cairo font backends could be used... none
>configure: Disabling cairo support

no fontconfig => no checks for freetype => no checks for cairo font
backends => no cairo support

The output should be:

checking for FONTCONFIG... yes
checking for FREETYPE... yes
...
checking for CAIRO... yes
checking which cairo font backends could be used... freetype

Are your installations of devel/pkg-config and x11-fonts/fontconfig
intact?  You might try reinstalling those first.

The relevant portion of the pango configure script:

Why does cairo detect fontconfig, while pango doesn't? Look at pango's
config.log for further information on the failure after running the
configure script, and compare it to the corresponding log and
configure script for cairo.
