looks like freetype2 is broke, deinstall and rebuild/install it and see 
what happens. Have you ever ran "portupgrade -arR"? if you haven't then 
your dependencies are not being updated, so run that first and I bet it 
will fix all your problems.

Do this:
0: cvsup if you feel like it.
1: portsclean -C
2: portupgrade -arRwW
3: Go to bed.
4: portsclean -CDD
