Yes, it seems the freetype guys solved the compatibility problem with freetype1 that came from the standard ambiguous <freetype/freetype.h> include by making freetype2 incompatible with itself. These guys are truely crazy.
The freetype/freetype.h header that throws the error because ft2build.h was not included before actually has
#include <ft2build.h>
some lines later. So the error is only there to annoy us, it has no other function. Maybe we should just shoot them.
I can report that, if I give xpdf enough hints:
SetCPPFLAGS: -DFT_FREETYPE_H -I/usr/X11R6/include SetCFLAGS: -DFT_FREETYPE_H -I/usr/X11R6/include SetCXXFLAGS: -DFT_FREETYPE_H -I/usr/X11R6/include
(the first to stop it complaining about not including ft2build.h, and the second so it actually finds ft2build.h when it does try to include it a few lines later...)
then it will build against Xorg without any important looking errors or warnings(*).
Which is just to confirm your diagnosis, and demonstrate that there is nothing else wrong with my system causing problems. Of course, this is NOT the way to fix it...

Viv's environment settings worked for me, too.
If it still builds vs. Apple's X11 with these modifications, then this might well be an option.
