Yes, by installing an extra freetype2-2.1.3 package ;-) I was hoping for 
something a little smaller, like one or two *.c files from freetype that 
one could compile together with scribus.

What I am actually doing in Fink now is to compile scribus with the 
freetype from X11 up to the end, and only in the final linking command 
where the scribus executable is created, I link to the libfreetype from 
  freetype2-2.1.3.

The fact that this is working at all proves that there are no big 
incompatibilities between the two freetype versions, no API changes, 
just some function implementations that are fixed.
