I have been able to get FTGL to link, but not with the fink version.   
I had to compile the new version.  I have a modified version of your  
go_default.sh script.  I have attached it.

Note that I also had to make sure that the PKG_CONFIG_PATH was set to  
properly pick up the right Freetype2 library
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/sw/lib/pango-ft219/lib/pkgconfig:/sw/opt/octavex11/ 
lib/pkgconfig
If you haven't updated fink in a while you won't have this, since they  
didn't update Freetype2 until they did their massive update to  
PangoCairo a few months ago.
Note that /sw/opt/octavex11 is where I have FTGL installed. It the the  
ftgl-2.1.3~rc5 release from their sourceforge website.

Also note that I modified you script in the following ways:
1) Added /sw/include/freetype2 to the CFLAGS
2) Because of OSX 10.5 weirdness with the OpenGL Framework, I had to  
add "-dylib_file /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/ 
A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/ 
Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib" to the LDFLAGS line

I hope this helps, but maybe you have already tried all of this.
