They are independent for two reasons. The first is that the system-provided FreeType library isn't (yet) used by the "freetype" XFree86 server module. The second is that lib/font/FreeType is an X server font backend that contains more than just the FreeType library. It is a goal to resolve the first reason (making the lib/font/FreeType build smaller), but the second will remain.
