The relevant bug is http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35010, and I've already tagged it for 1.6.x milestone, which is our way of nominating bug fixes for the stable branch :)
Additionally, a couple weeks ago Alexandre hinted to me in IRC that a 1.6.2 would in fact be coming.

Dear Wine-developers,
On behalf of Gerald Pfeifer and the FreeBSD/Wine team I would like to report that wine-1.6.1 does not build against recent versions of FreeType2. This has been fixed in master in commit 67f9b6e3c5d2397446d39ab454f691c1ee46d2c0 by Alexandre Julliard.
We would like to request this commit be back-ported to the stable branch.
Regards,
David
