Is it possible that one of these has FreeType support and the other
doesn't?

Yes.

Also, because of issues with pkg-config (e.g. not existing on
platforms other than Linux), configure also has:

  --with-cairo-includes=DIRS
                          cairo include files are in DIRS
  --with-cairo-libs=DIRS  cairo library files are in DIRS
  --with-cairo-ldflags=FLAGS
                          cairo needs FLAGS when linking

So --with-cairo-ldflags=-lfontconfig may be able to work around this.
