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.
