The last time I compiled it for os-x was via

MCHttpRepository
	location: 'http://source.impara.de/freetype'
	user: ''
	password: ''


However to compile for os-x  the original xcode project came from  
bert. I don't think it's in the squeakvm svn tree.
Then I had to use macports to install freetype, plus then build a  
universal version for intel and powerpc.
Then you take the static libraries and link into the plugin.
If you choose to use the dynamic libraries you will find mixed  
satisfaction since thru-out the 10.4/10.5 versions of os-x
it was plagued with issues in resolving problems between font files  
and cocoa's viewpoint.
