So, FTR and the peanut gallery,

in the wake of graphics/librsvg{,-c} there is a 
graphics/libimagequant-c package now, hooked up to the rusty 
graphics/libimagequant via available.mk . 

If you want or need to avoid the rust version, either set

LIBIMAGEQUANT_TYPE= c

or as a global knob set

PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_RUST= no

in /etc/mk.conf.

I found that despite this, updating from a pre-rust version, 
pkg_rolling-replace(8) started building the rusty version's 
dependencies. At that point, just manually build 
graphics/libimagequant-c, and 'make replace'.

Cheerio,
Hauke
