Hi,

take a look in your Ressources/etc/Makeconf and your /.Renviron file and search 
for cairo. There is possibly a ‘stale’ path such that R is searching for a path 
that existed in ML but not in Mavericks. Check the path via locate in your 
shell. 

Maybe it helps then, if you install the new Xcode developer tools for Mavericks 
via Xcode -> Xcode Developer Tools -> More Xcode Developer Tools.

Just a guess

Best
Simon
