Here's what I'm using for some time now:
http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/other/freetype2-219.diff
I believe the patch from cvs is needed to avoid some vertical displacement of 
letters. It's discussed here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.fonts.freetype.devel/2442
(Freetype's mailing list broke around new year, so their own archive doesn't 
go this far). It was commited in rev. 1.132 of ttgload.c:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/freetype/freetype2/src/truetype/ttgload.c
I can attach the patch to mentioned PR if needed, but could someone confirm 
about the patch (for convenience available here: 
http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/other/patch-src::truetype::ttgload.c).

As far as mozilla and firefox ports go, it seems that mozilla-devel works ok. 
Regular mozilla and firefox would need the first patch (FreeType 2.1.9 patch 
#149334) at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234035. NetBSD 
pkgsrc has this split as patch-ah, patch-ai, patch-aj, patch-ak, patch-al, 
patch-an and patch-ao.

If any of these makes sense, I can try to make more sensible patches to ports 
and submit them.
