Michael Leinartas proposed the following answer:
There's no way right now to configure the webapp to run without cairo.
While it wont be used if you're not rendering PNG or SVG, it's still
imported and the failed import will cause the webapp to fail to run. I
suspect you could just comment out the import in glyph.py or install a
dummy module in your python site-packages and it would just work, though
I've never tried.

You may find it helpful to have this installed and working though as
none of the external tools for rendering will allow you to easily browse
and compose graphs. The workflow for alternative dashboards tends to
begin with composing a graph with the graphite composer and then
configuring the resulting URL in a dashboard.
