On the quick you can add the -lz in the Makefile in src to CAIRO_LIBS at 
the end.

CAIRO_LIBS =   -lSM -lICE  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11    -lSM -lICE 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXrender -lX11 -lXext 
-L/Volumes/src/ports/lib -lpng12    -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lfreetype 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lfontconfig -lz
