Do they also have more recent versions of freetype and fontconfig (I'm  
a little bit short on time ATM, so I haven't looked myself, sorry)?

cut&paste:
---snip---
   
RUN_DEPENDS=	${LINUXBASE}/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0:${PORTSDIR}/devel/linux-glib2  
\
   
		${LINUXBASE}/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1:${PORTSDIR}/x11-fonts/linux-fontconfig  
\
+		linux-cairo>=0:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/linux-cairo \
  		${LINUXBASE}/usr/lib/libexpat.so.0:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/linux-expat
---snip---

I don't think this will work well, please use the complete path like  
with the other parts of RUN_DEPENDS.

Please use the same style in RUN_DEPENDS here too. They reside in  
LINUXBASE, and nearly nothing of our ports infrastrucuture looks into  
LINUXBASE.

Apart from that I can not see any obvious problem.

Bye,
Alexander.
