Interesting.  I'm not aware of FreeType problems on Mac OS X.

What version is used?  Since the FreeType API hasn't changed, it
should be easily possible to update to the latest version, 2.4.10.
Given that I regularly fix security issues, this might be a good idea
in general.

However, looking at your backtrace, the problem seems to happen in
FontConfig, not LilyPond, so updating to a recent version (2.10.1. is
the current) might help also.
