Something funky is going on with the Gem build system. For the auto- builds, it does not include FTGL and freetype. But if I go in and then run the build manually in the same place, it works.
You can see in the build logs, ./configure is run twice. The first time without the required args, the second time with. I removed the dep on $(gem_src)/src/configure from the Gem.pd_darwin target, I think this should fix this.
