Silly me.  No need to patch.  

$ LDFLAGS='-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/pkg/lib' \
        ../configure --enable-gnome

works fine, as far as it goes.  I get a message: 

configure: error: Need FreeType library version 2.0.9 or higher

But I have 2.1.3, which might not be set up right, yet.  Does FreeType2
have to be on the client or the server?  I'm using a remote display.  

Thanks again.
