Make sure all your ports are up-to-date.  In particular, freetype2, Xft,
and fontconfig must be current.  Make sure you do _not_ have the
mozilla-fonts port installed.  I recommend installing x11-fonts/webfonts
to get a nice set of TrueType fonts.  Make sure you have the XFree86
scalable font port installed.  That is:

XFree86-fontScalable-4.2.0

Here's what I have, and I'm generally happy with Mozilla's anti-aliasing
functionality:

XFree86-FontServer-4.2.0_1 XFree86-4 Font Server
XFree86-font100dpi-4.2.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 100 dpi fonts
XFree86-font75dpi-4.2.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 75 dpi fonts
XFree86-fontCyrillic-4.2.0_4 XFree86-4 Cyrillic Fonts
XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps-4.2.0 XFree86-4 default bitmap fonts
XFree86-fontEncodings-4.2.0 XFree86-4 font encoding files
XFree86-fontScalable-4.2.0 XFree86-4 Scalable font files
Xft-2.1             A client-sided font API for X applications
fontconfig-2.1_2    An XML-based font configuration API for X Windows
freetype-1.3.1_2    A free and portable TrueType font rendering engine
freetype2-2.1.3_1   A free and portable TrueType font rendering engine
ttmkfdir-0.0_1      Create fonts.scale file for use with TrueType font
server
urwfonts-1.0        Another font package for X
webfonts-0.21_1     TrueType core fonts for the Web
