Look for "config.log" in the work directory.

Look for freetype2.pc in /usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc and then in
$WRKDIR/.buildlink/lib/pkgconfig.

Read configure or configure.ac and see if it is looking for a specific
version.  Look in the pkgconfig file and see if that version is high
enough.
