Is now the time to boot up virtualbox and work from inside Linux? What should I do to get cairo working?
I can not help with that, I have never used a Mac.
And, I am certainly not a virtualbox on Mac user.

Why not use any of the hundreds of Linux LiveCD's?
Pick one that lets you store your work on a removable flash stick.

The LiveCD list has hundreds to choose from, but try (available even if your Mac is ppc):
https://livecdlist.com/lubuntu/
That should either run as a LiveCD or be what you use to install it into a VM machine (if such things let you install from a CD).
