Sorry, but I can't make any sense of manpage of
pkg_which, at least for solving my problem.
But maybe this is what you want to know:

 # pkg_info | grep -i freetype
 freetype2-2.1.7_4   A free and portable TrueType....

That's all there is!

I have deleted freetype2 and gimp; reinstalled
both again, but I get the same complaint by gimp.

I even created a brandnew user on my system, to
avoid settings in my homdir; same problem.

Gimp keeps complaining on seeing only freetype 2.1.4.

Gosh, I'm getting quite desperate.

Thanks for help,
Rob.
