With a -current pkgsrc, you should be able to accomplish the same thing
by adding the following to /etc/mk.conf:

	PREFER_PKGSRC=	MesaLib freetype2 glu Xrender

or if you'd prefer that pkgsrc be completely self-consistent:

	PREFER_PKGSRC=	yes

If you choose the latter option, you can still prefer the native versions
of specific packages with, e.g.,

	PREFER_NATIVE=	bzip2 openssl zlib
