It turns out OpenOffice looks for libfreetype in /usr/X11R6/lib, so there is no need to symlink it in /usr/local/lib, it also appears that installing Apple's X11 and Fink plus a few apps (gnucash, gnumeric) is sufficient to have libfreetype in /usr/X11R6/lib, though I'm not sure which actually installs freetype there.
So for myself I've had to do this to stop OOo messing up fink: For dlcompat: sudo ln -s /sw/lib/libdl.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/libdl.0.dylib sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libdl.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib
Similarly for fondu: sudo ln -s /sw/bin/fondu /usr/local/bin/fondu
esp-ghostscript I already have installed with the packages from <http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3>, and I don't use lyx so I have no apparent problems with ghostscript, and OOo hasn't installed any extra versions.
