The old Cairo BeOS code tried to wrap everything like this - and it
was horrible. Cairo is a C API - Firefox created a C++ wrapper for it
called Thebes... but that doesn't resolve the issue of having to build
a C++ backend surface that integrates into Cairo.
I think BeOS is the only platform that did that previously, and it
never worked completely right. I suspect that code has since been
excised, as it was unmaintained, and out of date.
And to add to that, the reason Firefox is ditching Cairo is because it
is very inefficient and has a poor API, while Skia seems to be better.
I'd go for Skia, I've even been looking at the code from time to time,
and it looks like it is an 'easy' port. See what Skia says about
porting: http://code.google.com/p/skia/wiki/Roadmap
