It depends on how well each particular program/configure script is written.
While freetypes are free from the usual fs namespace conflicts, but freetype2
programs can occasionally pick older includes if they have
-I${LOCALBASE}/incude preprocessor directive before
-I${LOCALBASE}/include/freetype2 directive in a gcc comman line and freetype1
is installed.
