No, sorry, I can't do that. This would be against my philosophy...
Please suggest this to Windows users, but not to people with an OS which
allows to find the reason of a problem (see below).

find /usr/local /usr/X11R6 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 pkg_which -v | fgrep '?' | cut -f 1 -d :
showed me some files which may be the cause of this (don't delete
everything without a review, you would delete your configs in
/usr/local/etc and /usr/X11R6/etc then).
It seems I had an old version of the freetype2 includes lying around in:
/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2/freetype/
I removed the supoerflous files (after reviewing the file list and
without losing my etc/ directories) and I'm rebuilding now...
Peter, thanks for the suggestion!
Bye,
Alexander.
