By "subpixel-patched cairo", I'm guessing you mean the patch by David Turner to enable LCD-filtering (known as 02-cairo-1.4.8-lcd-filter-2.dpatch in Ubuntu cairo patches).

This patch has been ported for cairo 1.5, and is available at:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10301

I hope that this will be included in upstream cairo. Otherwise, patching the bundled cairo version inside Xulrunner/Firefox would be the way to go.

I'm actually using this patch in my own Firefox build (no system cairo) and it works pretty well.
