Yes.

Which is why it didn't install hb-ft.h, nor, presumably, build the
corresponding objects.

So the question is now why didn't pkg-config find Freetype?
Does /Users/gtkdeveloper/gnucash/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc exist? (It should,
the installation is right after your elision note.)
If so, does starting a shell (`jhbuild shell`) and running `pkg-config
--modversion freetype2` return a version string?
If not, what is the result of `echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH`?
