I think both dependencies are wrong, since they are pure GTK+ application. Also, I think this happens quite frequently (i.e. deps on cairo[X]), should this maybe made a meta bug?
I don't see any cairo[X] depends in goffice, only cairo[svg], and this is correct and required. Might be unnecessary for abiword though indeed. One plugin uses cairo svg surface directly though, so that might be required instead.
