Try giving an explicit TTF file name:

  set term png font "/Library/Fonts/verdana.ttf" 12

If that works, then you need to revisit your font path settings.
If it doesn't work, then I think the problem is outside the
scope of gnuplot per se.  Bad libgd install? Bad libfreetype?

That's kind of old (though it should work).
While you're building new versions of gnuplot you might as well
build libgd 2.0.33 as well.

That looks fine. You definitely should be able to
get rotated text.
