Presuming you are using a CentOS/RHEL build then you can use the standard repos;

All of you missing dependencies are provided by the base repo.

Have a look in; /etc/yum.repos.d/ and see if you have a config file with the name CentOS-Base.repo if you have open it with an editor and check the required lines have enabled=1

I have all of the default & additional repos installed but I don't get matches for any of these packages:

libopencv-dev
python-opencv
libfreetype6-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev

If you need to download the base repo config then visit this link, pick the correct version and copy the CentOS-Base.repo file to the path given above. If you need additional repos (Such as EPEL) then see this link to a question I answered for another user.

Well, considering Amazon Linux is based on RHEL (RedHat Enterprise Linux) distro it's possible to enable the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux, maintained by Fedora distro guys) repository that contains these packages you want with slightly different names. I'm going to quote AWS help page:

Amazon Linux – The EPEL repo is already installed on Amazon Linux, but it must be enabled by updating the epel.repo file. The following command illustrates use of the vim editor to update the epel.repo file. vim /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo

a. Locate and change the entry enabled=0 to enabled=1 that is located in the $basearch section of the epel.repo file.
b. Save and exit the vim editor.

Now, pay attention that the package names you want follow conventions from other distros, so on RHEL/EPEL repositories might be different. Because of that, try: 

# yum install mesa-libGL-devel freetype-devel opencv-devel opencv-python
