I discovered that libtool generated .la descriptors contain reference to package names and versions. For instance, libfreetype.la: dependency_libs=' -lbz2 -L /packages/libpng-1.5.12-3/.self/lib ...

Yes, the problem is known in principle. The porter needs to check the resulting *.la, *.pc, etc. files and possibly add code to the recipe to fix them.(*) In such a case the dependency link should be used instead:
/packages/freetype_devel-<version>/devel-libpng/libInterestingly the dependency seems to be missing (at least in hrev47705 gcc4h).
I'm not even sure where the above path stems from. It's probably already incorrect in the libpng_devel package. But even if the correct path (/packages/libpng_devel-1.5.12-3/.self/develop/lib) was used there, it would still have to be adjusted in freetype_devel.
CU, Ingo(*) I guess haikuporter could provide some helper functionality. It knows the dependencies and it knows what paths should be used.
