Don't mix modulesets, either: The dependency chains aren't interchangeable, though bootstrap.modules, invoked by `jhbuild bootstrap`, is special and installed in ~/Source/jhbuild/modulesets; there's only one of it. For example, to save some typing, you can create a .jhbuildrc-custom containing the following lines:

Each time it stopped during building of freetype saying that there was no target for " install".  I told it to ignore that... recalling that freetype was not even needed.  It went on to build fontconfig... something else that I thought was not needed.  Then it choked on atk (not atkmm).  Anyway... I have had some other hardware problems that are taking all of my time so I am not sure when I will get back to it. Perhaps I can try your more recent upgrade to the packages when I get a chance.

As for building from modulesets-stable... yes indeed, that is what I did as that is what you put in your 'verbatim' instructions.  I wondered about that.  If I ever get things organized here... I will try again.

Not only that, but I've added skip-autogen="never" to Freetype' module description and that seems to stop it skipping configure.

If I remove the freetype2 directory and then completely rebuild gtkmm, I get complaints from ft2build.h.  If I remove ft2build.h as well and completely rebuild gtk, then I get a complaint about the missing ft2build.h.  So I think you have it right!  Somehow the gtkmm build scripts know that freetype exists on my machine and is trying to use it.  How does it know?

/usr/X11 is a standard path, so it's not surprising that configure finds it.

You may need to add 
append_autogenargs("cairo", "--enable-ft=no --enable-fc=no")
to your .jhbuildrc-custom.
