I don't know why it's trying to open an X11 connection, but it could 
be caused by some of the toolkit checks related to the interactive
backends. Does it help to unset DISPLAY when running setup.py, as
follows?

env DISPLAY= /path/to/python25 setup.py

One slightly subtle thing is that if PKG_CONFIG_PATH is used to
determine which version of freetype gets used - setupext.py calls
pkg-config to find the compilation flags.
