Dan:

Thanks for the suggestion. I already had portupgrade installed on my
system so I did this:
	pkgdb -F	# answered yes to fix all problems with freetype2
	portupgrade freetype2

Now, here is the freetype2 entry from "pkg_version -v":
	freetype2-2.1.0_1         =   up-to-date with port

And, as far as I can tell, everything X-ish is working properly after
the port upgrade.

thanks again,
rcf
