For anyone coming back to this, I was able to get py2cairo installed on OSX Lion with a slightly different approach, based on llimllib's link. Hope this helps:

python waf clean
export PYTHONPATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LINKFLAGS='-search_dylibs_first  -L /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/'
export ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64'
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.10.2/lib/pkgconfig/

python waf configure --prefix=$PYTHONPATH
python waf build
python waf install
