No, you take the source code from sid and build it on a woody system.

Oh well, I've put the necessary source up now at the same spot. You'll want
to do the following:
1) Untar freetype_2.1.4-4.tar.gz
2) cd freetype-2.1.4
3) Ensure all the build-deps are installed (see debian/control for that)
4) debian/rules binary
5) cd ..
6) Install libfreetype6 and libfreetype6-dev
7) Untar xpdf_2.02pl1-1.tar.gz
8) cd xpdf-2.02pl1
9) Ensure all the other build deps are installed (lesstif2-dev doesn't exist
in woody; use libmotif-dev instead)
10) debian/rules binary
11) cd ..
12) Install whatever gets you excited.
Do that on your PPC machine and you'll have some nice happy xpdf packages to
install.
