The code works fine as far as I can tell:

tron@colwyn:/usr/pkgsrc/editors/ted>uname -a
NetBSD colwyn.zhadum.org.uk 6.1 NetBSD 6.1 (COLWYN.64) #0: Sun May 19 19:41:19 
BST 2013  tron%colwyn.zhadum.org.uk@localhost:/src/sys/compile/COLWYN.64 amd64
tron@colwyn:/usr/pkgsrc/editors/ted>make VARNAME=X11_TYPE show-var
native
tron@colwyn:/usr/pkgsrc/editors/ted>make VARNAME=USE_BUILTIN.Xft2 show-var
no
tron@colwyn:/usr/pkgsrc/editors/ted>make VARNAME=USE_BUILTIN.fontconfig show-var
no
tron@colwyn:/usr/pkgsrc/editors/ted>make VARNAME=USE_BUILTIN.freetype2 
show-varyes

The only problem that I could really confirm is that under NetBSD-current
"pkgsrc" got confused because the native "freetype2" wasn't accepted
while the native "fontconfig" was.

I've fixed that in the meantime.

        Kind regards
