I think I compiled the 5.0.3 binaries at:
  http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/wingrass_xserver/
And it was compiled with PNG support (see grass5.0.3_config.log in above 
directory). I have not occasion to use the PNG driver under Cygwin, but 
I just gave it a try and received the same error message you got.

Sorry that doesn't help you much.
