Gem gets linked against Apple's freetype, which is part of the X11  
package, so that's where the requirement comes from.  It would be  
possible to make Gem use the Fink freetype.  Mac OS X 10.5 now comes  
with X11 installed, so this issue only applies to 10.4.  There is a  
decent FAQ entry on how to install X11 for people with 10.4:
