Found a way to build it by making the attached changes to the Makefile.

Basically, building Ghostscript against the jpeg headers provided in its
own tarball doesn't work (here). But it can be built without a problem
against the headers provided by pkgsrc's current jpeg package. At least
if the 'cups' option is not enabled (no idea otherwise).

Note, anyway, that however you build it, the resulting 'gs' executable
contains hardcoded paths for font and library search, and those paths
are incorrect if the install tree is /usr/pkg rather than /usr. Also,
the paths are versioned, and they point to an older Ghostscript release.

So this package looks to be in dire need of a revision!
