If there is no particular reason you're avoiding Slackbuilds.org, then you'd be much better off either using sbopkg (with the command sbopkg -i freetds) or manually downloading the source tarball and the necessary files from slackbuilds.org and following the instructions for using slackbuild scripts to make a package to install with installpkg. If you need to specify flags to pass to the configure script, you can edit the freetds.Slackbuild script to specify them in there.

This will leave you able to much more easily manage removing the package at a later date if you choose to, or handling updates for newer versions of the code.
