I agree with you, but we cannot make this... because for example using the
xsrc freetype you cannot install graphics/gimp, or gnome2, etc. 

If you are having troubles with xsrc, why don't you try
pkgsrc/meta-pkgs/XFree86? they are built without freetype/fontconfig, etc,
except Mesa.

Oh BTW all works fine for me using pkgsrc... (Yes, I have installed
freetype and friends from pkgsrc and xsrc, but does it matter? on these
days we have GB on the HD not MB :).
