I don't know that you can, but you *can* use TTF fonts under FreeBSD.

Install /usr/ports/x11-servers/Xfstt, then put the TTFs in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType. Then do the following:
# xfstt --sync
# xfstt &
# xset fp+ unix/:7101
You should be able to use them after doing that (at least, that's worked
for me in the past :-)
