You should look at the config.log file to see the exact error messages
that were generated. The most likely possibility is that the
freetype-config from /usr/local/bin was being used, but the linker
found the libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib ... you may well simply
want to delete (make a backup first):

 /usr/X11R6/bin/freetype-config
 /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so*
 
In my opinion, there is no excuse for X  installing a copy of freetype 
that is publically visible.
