Andrew, how does your FreeType2 pkg-config file ('freetype2.pc') look like?
You're compiling Fontconfig. Fontconfig requires FreeType2, which in turn (in your case) requires LibPNG and Harfbuzz.
To have Fontconfig also recognize Freetype2's requirements (LibPNG and Harfbuzz) I believe you need to run "pkg-config --static".
I've had this issue before with a library that needed Freetype2. So I believe the following should work:

8) build fontconfig-2.13.0.tar.bz2
export PKG_CONFIG="pkg-config --static"
./configure --disable-shared --enable-static
make
unset PKG_CONFIG
