I'm not sure about that but I'm having a bunch of problems building 
xfree86/Xft2/gtk+2.  The xfree86 spell depends on Xft2 but xfree86 installs a 
version of Xft.  Just tried building xfree86 now and I got:

I was trying to get mozilla built which led to problems with gtk+2 which led 
me to where I am now.  Aaaah!
