that's right, but now I see that that wasn't the issue anyway:

ft2font is relying on libfreetype. I think that's the one that Apple delivers with their X11 (I know I have it, anyway), but I think X11 is an optional install, so you may not have it.
Is that file there? ON my system:
$ file /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib: symbolic link to `libfreetype.6.3.dylib'
and
$ file /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.3.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.3.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
so I have it, and it's a ppc lib, which makes sense, as I'm running on a ppc machine.
If you don't have it, probably the easiest thing to do is install Apple's X11 -- otherwise, perhaps MPL should be built against a static libfreetype.
