Normally, adding PREFER.freetype2=pkgsrc to your mk.conf would trigger the use 
of pkgsrc's freetype2 package. But I suspect freetype2 gets picked by something 
else. Do you define X11BASE? Or, maybe, a configure script detects it.

On Mac OS X, I don't use X11 at all (X11BASE=/dev/null X11_TYPE=none 
PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS=-x11) as most package provide support for Quartz graphics.
