I have a shell alias called
alias pkgrep    'pkg_info | grep $1'

You would "pkgrep font" but that wouldn't pick up bitstream-vera.

My XF86Config file has all of my fonts included. On my system, it is 
located at

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config

It has the following non-XFree86 fonts installed

        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/"
        FontPath     "/usr/local/share/fonts/"

Make sure that libXft was built with the current freetype2. It sounds 
like something is out of sequence.
