I'm having the same toubles with freetype2-2.0.3_1 which is actually at 2.0.4 in the packages ftp sites (and mirrors). In fact Mesa-3.4.2_1 also has the same hangup, but I'm not sure if its in its required list. Somehow I think this points back to the older problem with the INDEX file in the ports tree? Well thats my assumption. My work around has been to use the ports, but it would be nice to get it going on packages.
