If you can become root, then you should be able to do this.

General directions:

1. Get the latest freetype package
2. Untar the packages (e.g. tar xxf freetype_X.X.X.tgz
3. Go to the dir containing the source and run the following commands:
make setup && make && && make install
4. When this succeeds, go the directory containing your PHP source
distribution (if you can't find it, download it from the php.net
website)
5. Run: ./configure --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local
6. Run: make && make install
7. Restart Apache and you are on.
