xorg-fonts: fonts.dir entries missing

On a fresh install of 10.1-RELEASE the fonts.dir entries in 
/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts are not generated automatically. All ports are up-to-
date.

In the xorg logfile I see several entries like this one:

[    28.443] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in 
"/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/".
[    28.443]    Entry deleted from font path.
[    28.443]    (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/").

Running mkfontdir on the directory as indicated works. But I don't think I had 
to do this manually before.

Anyone else seeing this?
