freetype2 from pkgsrc (as it stands right now)?  Ugh.  The bytecode
interpreter code is not built, so fonts look much uglier when using the
pkgsrc version.  In xsrc (and so, I guess, in the default XFree86
distribution) it is enabled.  I noticed this the other day when
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.freetype2 was bumped.

I'm really not sure about the legal stuff, but
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/patents.html makes it seem like we may
be stuck in ugly land (that is, those of us in the United States).

I wonder if I'm just picky about my fonts and nobody else cares about
this..
