Do you have that file on your system?
Please show us the result of the following command:
ls -l /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

My solution was to find that file and make a link.
$ locate libfreetype
/opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
/opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.dylib
...
$ sudo ln -s /opt/X11/lib /usr/X11/lib

You may have mixed up paths with the symbolic link

usage: ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file [target_file]
ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file ... target_dir
link source_file target_file

so,
/usr/X11/lib had all the files for me and /opt/X11/lib didn't even exist

answer:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/X11/lib /opt/X11/lib

/usr/X11/lib [the source directory with all the files]
/opt/X11/lib [literally symbolic link or target file or dir]
