The linux bits will use the FreeBSD fonts, so any files generated in a place which FreeBSD sees too has to be compatible. Another question: does fc-cache produce anything else except the fonts.cache files in the fonts directories? If the answer is "no" we don't have to run fc-cache in the linux case and installing a font doesn't needs a run of the linux version. The implication in the "yes" case is, that we have to modify the font ports to also run the linux fc-cache program if it is installed...
