The data produced by the two should be compatible, but the versions of fontconfig are so different, I can't say for sure.

Everytime a font is added, fc-cache should be run to update the font cache. However, it isn't necessary to do so, since fontconfig will processes each directory on the fly. That said, fonts.cache-1 is the only file created by fc-cache.
