I don't see Freetype in the current release of Homebrew, but I did find
a fork where someone has created a formula for it.

I really love the way Homebrew works compared to macport. I am most
definitely NOT a fan of macports. The tradeoff is that Homebrew is still
fairly new and doesn't yet support everything that is available in
macports. However, there seems to be a fairly active community around
Homebrew that is filling in the gaps.

For example:
