After looking a bit deeper into this I've managed to come up with some
basic instructions for getting this accomplished:

First and foremost - you'll need the latest Linux Emulation system.
cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base && make install

grab the xfstt rpm from: 
ftp://ftp.calderasystems.com/pub/openlinux/contrib/RPMS/libc6/xfstt-1.0-1.i386.rpm

mkdir xfstt
mv xfstt-1.0-1.i386.rpm xfstt
cd xfstt
rpm2cpio < xfstt-1.0-1.i386.rpm | cpio -id

cp usr/X11R6/bin/xfstt /usr/compay/linux/usr/X11R6/bin
cp usr/doc/xfstt-1.0 /usr/share/doc
cp usr/X11R6/man/xfstt.1x /usr/X11R6/man/man1/

mkdir -p /usr/compat/linux/var/cache/xfstt

add the following script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d

< -- begin -- >
XFSTT=/usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/bin/xfstt     # the executable
CACHE=/usr/compat/linux/var/cache/xfstt         # the cache directory
TTFONTS=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType       # keep fonts here
PORT=7101       # port number
USER=nobody     # you don't want this running as root, do you?
RES=120         # if the fonts are too large try 90

if [ -x /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/bin/xfstt ]; then
  $XFSTT --cache $CACHE --dir $TTFONTS --sync
  $XFSTT --port $PORT --user $USER --dir $TTFONTS --cache $CACHE --res
$RES --daemon
fi 
< -- end -- >

Add the following line to /etc/XF86Config: 
FontPath   "unix/:7101"

If you can't figure out where to add this line you probably shouldn't be
messing
 with this in the first place. 

Copy a bunch of TT fonts to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType.  I copied
all of
Windows fonts (C:\Windows\Fonts\*) - If nothing else, Windows fonts are
nice to
look at.

that's about it - start the font server with "sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d" or
if you're feeling so inclined you can just restart your machine.
