You need to build x11-libs/cairo with the `X' and `pdf' use flags set.
Either set them globally in make.conf or run:

echo "x11-libs/cairo X pdf" >> /etc/portage/package.use

echo is deprecated.  ;)  Use flagedit.

# flagedit x11-libs/cairo +X +pdf

Thanks All, that is what I suspected. The X flag is already set, now the 
pdf one is, I will try the upgrade again later today.

I am just curious how the package was already installed, and has 
presumably upgraded before without the pdf flag set?

Presumably because the dependency on pdf is the basis of a new feature in
the upgrade.  It could also be that the dependency was missed previously,
and some expected functionality was missing or broken as well, but that
not everyone actually used that functionality, so it wasn't caught until
someone actually tried to use it, and did the appropriate bug report when
it failed.  A third possibility is that the functionality was formerly
provided a different way, but due to the dynamics of a living tree with
various packages upgrading over time, the dependencies changed. All three
scenarios are reasonably common, particularly with newer and still
maturing packages such as cairo, but even with older packages, over time
as what's actually in the tree that they can build upon and that is used
to build them (consider that some packages won't build with newer gccs,
and if they are obscure enough or not supported upstream, they may be
dropped rather than fixed) changes.

Seems fairly straightforward: gtk+ requires cairo to be compiled with 
the X and pdf USE flags set.

echo "x11-libs/cairo X pdf" >> /etc/portage/package.use ; emerge 
--oneshot x11-libs/cairo x11-libs/gtk+
