Ah, but you didn't do a clean install. You cvsup'ed ports-all and jumped 
into a massive update of expat and now freetype2.

If you haven't cvsuped ports-all, the easy out on expat is portupgrade 
-rf expat. 

The header files for freetype2 no longer exist as freetype.h and it also 
needs a -rf update.
