It's a bad idea to go elsewhere, because then BSD might not be able to put in needed patches / install it to the right directories, etc.

Freetype2 is in the print directory.

Why are you installing it this way? If bandwidth is the problem, they have a nice mini-iso if the regular isos are too big. (The mini ISO doesn't include X, but once you've got ports running putting X, XFree86, and a window manager on your drive isn't too difficult...)
