It seems that I was too cryptic. I just want to tell that as long as
LIB_DEPENDS magic in bsd.port.mk uses ldconfig to check if a library
in question is installed, dependency system will pick up whatever
freetype library is installed, no matter whether it in the LOCALBASE
or in X11BASE. As long as freetype installed with XFree86 is incomplete
(missed freetype-config) some ports with LIB_DEPENDS=freetype would
be broken (e.g. ImageMagic).
