I'm _heavily_ using the Jamfiles myself, so I tend to update them before
the Makefiles.

Or you can rename the 'rules.mk' files to something else, that should
be enough for the Make build system.

If you use the Jamfiles, you can define an environment variable that lists
all the components you want to compile, separated by spaces. Each component
is the name of a sub-directory under 'src', e.g.:

export FT2_COMPONENTS="base raster smooth sfnt truetype"
jam

but you still need to manually update <freetype/config/ftmodule.h> to change
the list of modules statically linked to ftinit.c though.

At the moment, the configuration process doesn't allow you to make this step
automatic. This could be handy, but I can think of a portable way to do that
simply at the moment. Probably some Python script to come in the future if
this becomes really necessary.
