No.

None of gtk+, poppler, poppler-bindings, nor pango are needed for
cairo's PDF backend. So it would appear there's a packaging bug there.

The reason this false circular dependency appears is because the
_tests_ for cairo's PDF backend do require poppler. But it's not
essential to build or run the tests to build cairo with its PDF
backend.

If cairo's configure machinery isn't broken, then it will
automatically detect the absence of poppler and not enable the PDF
tests if it's not available, (though it should still enable the PDF
backend).
