It seems that it wasn't. The following code fails (as in it doesn't print the success string). Anyone know where I can get a precompiled GD library with TrueType support? I really don't know the first thing about compiling on Windows... (Linux I can handle) 
use GD::Text;

my($gd_text) = GD::Text-> new() or die GD::Text::error();

if ($gd_text-> can_do_ttf()) {

    print "Well, GD::Text says I can handle TTFs!  Isn't that a hoot!\
+n";
}
