[Freetype] Does PHP need to be compiled *-with* FreeType library?

[Jennifer]

I am on a virtual server.  PHP is installed as an Apache module.  I have 
access to my Apache conf files, but I don't have root access to the machine.

Can I use the FreeType library?  PHP does not already support it on my 
server's installation, but can I install it locally like I can do with perl 
modules or can it only be enabled when PHP is installed?

I can't seem to get any answers from the PHP lists about this.
