The patch is included in the R-patched version (see ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/R-patched.tar.gz) and in R-2.1.1, coming soon (June 20?). With this patch you should be able to install and run R without a FreeBSD port, like most older versions of R do. Now to your question: First I installed the patched version from June 10 and all fonts were available in R, also in demo(graphics). Then I completely removed the patched version and tried your FreeBSD-port. Again, all fonts are available in my installation of R. So I suppose the problem is with your installation of X11?
