from man fc-cache:
NAME
       fc-cache,  fonts.cache  -  create  an index of FreeType font files in a
       directory

It's normally run when you add new fonts to your system. Of course if you use 
kde's font control panel or something similar, it runs fc-cache for you.
It's part of X & lives in /usr/X11R6/bin/

When you install linux-base, is installs a linux version too 
(under /usr/compat/linux), but it appears to use the FBSD configuration 
somehow, since running fc-cache fixes the cache for linux apps as well as 
native ones.
