Not surprising, I guess, since there's a note about newer Cups versions being incompatible with older versions of OSX. The minimum Cups requirement is, IIRC, 1.4.0. Try 1.4.8, the last release in that series.
By following the "older releases" link on the Cups download page I found a URL that won't choke jhbuild:
http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/cups/1.4.8/cups-1.4.8-source.tar.bz2
