Tell this to the maintainer of the port, it's the right thing to
do.

I'm no XFree86 release building expert, but i think the problem is
that the fonts are `make install'ed first, but only split later on
into several tarballs.  Since the directory has been populated with
all fonts before, you'd go through more hassles if you wanna reduce
the fonts.dir.  Running mkfontdir afterwards seems simpler.
