Thanks for finding that out! I didn't know that would work. MacPorts  
doesn't put -isysroot in the LDFLAGS by default because that's not  
what Apple says to do:

But I do see that we have a few other ports that do put it in the  
LDFLAGS (libiconv, unrar, xrender, XviD). I added it to the freetype  
portfile which works around the issue for now.
