MacPorts and Fink are not good enough?

glib-mkenums comes with GLib, it's called *glib*-mkenums
after all.  If the software distribution you use has
separate run-time and development GLib packages, then it's
in the development part.  If you installed GLib from
sources, you must have it (somewhere).

However, you should not need it in the first place (unless
you modify the enums in Pango headers) as all the generated
files are distributed.  Run configure with
--disable-rebuilds.  Alternatively ensure glib-mkenum is in
PATH.

(In fact, a part of the problem seems to be that you have
Perl, because it makes Pango's configure conclude you have
glib-mkenum too and moreover that it's in PATH -- which is
obvously wrong, I suggest to report this as a bug).
