Don't know exactly, but it was the same for me. I now added the lines
NO_X=true
XFREE86_VERSION=4
in /etc/make.conf and recompiled XFree4.0.3 (don't touch the default
answers of the questions it will ask in the beginning), QT2.3 (will
allow for anti-aliased fonts) and KDE2.1.1 . In my XF86Config I have
(don't know if this is in by default, as I'm using a hand-crafted one)

klauncher is setting QT_XFT=0 as environment variable. Look if this is
true for you, too.
Now I'm a happy camper, no UNIX Desktop looked ever so good (MS hired
really one of the best font designers to create Verdana :-) ). BTW, in
some "TrueType for XFree" FAQs, there were hints that freetype will
only recognize fonts in lower-case letters and therefore a link to
your Win font directory would fail. But that wasn't true for me.
bash-2.04$ ls -ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 20 3 Apr 01:37
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType@
-> /win/c/WINDOWS/FONTS
bash-2.04$
I made the fonts.scale with ttmkfdir from the ports.
Hope that helps
