It *should* be, but it isn't. One confounding factor is that the
syntax, as far as I know, only works with "gcc". I suspect Sun drops
the "Wl,". Any ELF compilers that provide no mechanism at all to
override run paths in shared libraries are simply broken.

Does qt3-tools use "freetype-config"? You could try adding
"-Wl,-rpath-link,${exec_prefix}" to the "libs" case in the installed
"/usr/pkg/bin/freetype-config", first, to see if that fixes the build,
and only then consider the right, portable thing to do.
