You no longer need the GDK_USE_XFT variable. Things that control anti-aliasing are Xft, fontconfig, freetype2, and pango. You should make sure you have the latest version of all of those ports. You can disable anti-aliasing conditionally by tweaking ~/.fonts.conf. If that file doesn't exist, AA is controlled with the Font capplet. By default, standard Best Shapes AA is used. If you have a laptop, I recommend subpixel smoothing. If xchat works, but nothing else, check to see that you do not have Monochrome selected in your Font capplet, and that all of the above ports are up-to-date.
