The difference is that MesaGL library installed with XFree86-4 is
specifically tweaked by XFree86 project for use with XFree86-4, while
freetype2 library installed with 4.0.3 is just a stock version. Therefore
correct fix is to make XFree86-4 linking with freetype2 from the
corresponding port and avoid rolling out its own version. Unfortunately for
not clear for me reasons jmz refuses to properly fix XFree86-4, he even
doesn't want to provide workarround (i.e. make XFree86-4 installing
freetype-config script).
