However, when I attempt to load libgdk-x11-2.0.0.dylib it complains that it cannot find a particular symbol in /usr/local/lib/libcairo.dylib. Why is it complaining about /usr/local/lib/libcairo.dylib?

Most of those dylibs are symlinks and libgdk may depend on a name which exists in /usr/local/lib but not /usr/local/Cellar, maybe? ldd can tell you what a given dylib depends on.
