freetype 2.3.2 would have been available to previous MacPorts  
versions as well through a simple "port sync".

I do not know if freetype 2.3.2 is binary-compatible with 2.1.10, nor  
do I think there is a general way that one can be assured of that for  
any arbitrary versions of any given port. I installed freetype 2.3.2  
over my 2.1.10 and it seemed to work for me. If you find you do need  
to rebuild things that depend on freetype, there is a script at item  
2 of the problem hotlist that can help you identify what those ports  
are:
