It means there is a variable PLIST element - PLIST.graphite2 - the
files marked with it in the PLIST file will be considered part of the
package when this variable is true:

# grep PLIST.graphite2 PLIST
${PLIST.graphite2}include/harfbuzz/hb-graphite2.h

Actually

$ grep \{PLIST\. PLIST  | awk -F\} '{print $1}' | sed 's/${//'  | sort | uniq
PLIST.coretext
PLIST.doc
PLIST.graphite2
PLIST.introspection

will give you the list of all PLIST variables for this particular
package. Two of those are defined in the options.mk (make
show-options), the other two - in Makefile.common, conditional to
where the package is being built - one depends on whether librsvg is
rust-built, the other - whether it is being compiled on an ancient
version of MacOS.
