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.
