I figured out the right way to do this: fill a pattern surface with the
full-strength noise, then mask that into the destination image (using
cairo_mask or cairo_mask_surface) with the alpha channel of the mask
controlling the relative proportion of the noise, from 0 for a
noise-free image to 1 for total noise.
