Can't tell what you've messed up, but the build sequence is supposed to be 
pixman
freetype-no-harfbuzz
icu
harfbuzz-no-cairo
freetype
fontconfig
cairo
gobject-introspection
harfbuzz
fribidi
pango

and the error message indicates that harfbuzz-no-cairo didn't get installed. Look back through your build 
output to see why not. You can use `jhbuild list meta-gtk-osx-gtk3` to ensure that you haven't messed 
something up in .jhbuildrc-custom like putting one or more of those modules on the skip list.
