I opened a feature request on Fedora upstream for enabling Cairo, and 
the maintainer said he'd do it:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2126555

Note that for the time being, there's no need to compile LilyPond 
yourself to get Cairo support, just download the binaries from 
lilypond.org, which do have it.

Best,
