Looking at graphics/py-cairo history:

June 17: was updated to 1.8.4
June 19: required python 2.6+

You most likely installed it before that, and probably before python
2.6 was set as the default version. The message is a bit misleading
but as somebody else said, the py25- prefix in that case comes from
your installed version of python.

Check entry 20090608 about the python upgrade in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
