Yes, it is possible. There are various ways to do this. Here are a 
couple of examples, found very quickly in one section of the package 
description collection:

costabel% pwd
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci
costabel% grep lib/freetype *o
grass62.info:SetCFLAGS: -I%p/include -I%p/lib/freetype2/include/freetype2
matplotlib-py.info:SetCPPFLAGS: -I%p/include/pygtk-2.0 
-I%p/lib/freetype219/include/freetype2
matplotlib-py.info:SetLDFLAGS: -L%p/lib/freetype219/lib
octplot.info:ConfigureParams:  --with-ft-prefix=%p/lib/freetype219 
--disable-dependency-tracking
plplot.info: --with-freetype2-libdir=%p/lib/freetype219/lib 
--with-freetype2-incdir=%p/lib/freetype219/include/freetype2 \
plplot.info: export CPATH=%p/lib/freetype219/include:%p/include
qtiplot-qt4-x11.info:export PATH="$QTDIR/bin:%p/lib/freetype219/bin:$PATH"

A PATH setting like in the last example may be sufficient, but it has to 
be tested for each package individually.
