Any clues why freetype is failing to build.
No.

error: syntax error before 'FT_Stream_ReadFields'
The point of failure is completely mysterious. Are you sure the
FreeType package has been transferred correctly?
Hi Ryan,
So the question from the freetype list is asking "Are you sure the
FreeType package has been transferred correctly?" since the error
is a complete mystery.
Yes, the freetype tarball is guaranteed to be the one that builds
correctly for everyone else. MacPorts records md5, sha1 and/or rmd160
checksums of every downloadable file; if a checksum doesn't match, an
error is printed and the install is aborted at that point. Since that
didn't happen, the file must be the correct one.
This same problem has been reported to us maybe half a dozen times by
now. Previous ideas which were brought forth on the MacPorts lists or
in tickets which did not pan out for everyone included updating
MacPorts (sudo port selfupdate) and then updating all outdated ports
(sudo port -ux upgrade outdated), removing all software present in /
usr/local and /sw (which can sometimes interfere), and upgrading
Xcode to the latest version.
Also I upgraded to XCode-3.1.2 and still not able to build freetype.
After you upgraded Xcode, did you clean freetype before trying again?
sudo port clean freetype
sudo port install freetype
