I think you mixed here some things up:

In the port collection there is another set of Truetype fonts that will
help your browser rendering web pages better: webfonts. To install
them just go to your port collection and type:

# cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts

--

This cannot be the installation path. Shouldn't it be

/usr/ports/x11-fonts/webfonts

--

# make install clean

After that go to your XF86Config file and add this line to the "Files"
section:

FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/"

--

Yes, it is the final font path.

Your effort helps real beginners to get things right the easy way.
