This is getting rather obscure now. Pixman is a dependency of cairo  
and should be installed along with it. In fact, I just had a look at  
cairo's dependencies in NetBSD's pkgsrc repository and it turns out  
that freetype is a dependency of cairo as well, so it should have been  
installed along with cairo in the first place. Did you remove some of  
these packages manually?

Anyway, you can install the latest version of pixman for 5.0.x with  
the command
  pkg_add 
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/5.0/All/pixman-0.18.4.tgz
