If you get it to the point where I just drop patches onto freetype, fontconfig, and cairo and maybe setup some configure args, I'll get it into 1.7.9_beta1 which I'll release shortly after 2.7.8 goes out (which I'm hoping for later this month).

Most of the details I think are burried in https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44148, so I'll look there. It would be nice if you could update that ticket with anything that has changed in the past 8 months (rebase on newer versions, etc).
