Actually, it's the other way around: Fink would like to phase out the separate freetype* packages in favor of the libraries that are part of X11.
Was my mistake to install the Fink freetype at all? I.e. if I hadn't, would it have linked wiht the X11 libraries?
Even if you have Fink's freetype2 installed, nothing will link to it until it is told to do so explicitly. Its compile-time interface is hidden in /sw/lib/freetype2/{bin,include,lib} which normally is not seen by the preprocessor/compiler/linker.
Fink's freetype2 is only there because a few packages specifically need a more recent version than the one that comes with Apple's X11. None of these packages has anything to do with nicotine, I think.
Nicotine's relation to libfreetype is via the pygtk python module, that is the pygtk2-py23 package, AFAICT. And that one shouldn't link to Fink's libfreetype at all. So for me it is still a mystery where Fink's freetype should come into the picture. From what you are telling, I think one can infer that your pygtk module must have been built while a different libfreetype.6.dylib was present than what you have now.
If compatibility means what it says, you might get away with the symlink hack, but it is bad style, because the headers will not match the library.
BTW, anyone know if Apple plans to move to X.org?
They tend to be very careful not to tell anyone what they are planning, but it would be surprising if they didn't. Torrey Lyons, the main XonX developer, now has a patch for the xorg CVS tree that even builds /Applications/Utilities/X11.app. This gives a complete unification of xorg X11 with Apple's X11. The only thing still needed to be added from Apple's proprietary stuff is quartz-wm.
