In my experience, X's mkfontdir still isn't able to cope well with .ttf, so it sometimes puts out an empty file. Install and use /usr/ports/x11-fonts/ttmkfdir if that is the case. The second thing to check (this has bitten me also) is that IIRC .ttf files mustn't have spaces in their filenames, or X will complain.
