I did not receive a reply from the port maintainer, but I was able to
"solve" the problem of the missing libfreetype.so.6. I deinstalled all the
XFree86-*-4* sub-packages and reinstalled the mega-port in
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4. This provided libfreetype.so.6. I copied this
file as libfreetype.so.6.save and then deinstalled the mega-port,
reinstalled the sub-ports, and copied the libfreetype file to its original
location. Then I deinstalled evolution and reinstalled it, and it built and
installed without problem.
If I am doing something brain-dead, I'd appreciate a clue. Please cc: me as

Thanks

If you find an answer, will you post it as a response to your original
post on FreeBSD-Questions?
Thanks
