ok! another try.
monospace is only an alias for other Fonts. i guess that fontconfig
didn't find any of this fonts:
(excerpt from /usr/X11R6/etc/fonts/fonts.conf)
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>Andale Mono</family>
<family>Courier New</family>
<family>Luxi Mono</family>
<family>Nimbus Mono L</family>
<family>Kochi Gothic</family>
<family>AR PL KaitiM GB</family>
<family>Baekmuk Dotum</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
maybe you should also uncomment all font types:
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "bitmap"
Load "speedo"
if nothing else helps, the easiest way is installing
the bitstream-vera fonts. this port will also install
a own local.conf an set monotype to "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono".
