Change your XF86Config file not to use xfs, and point it to the actual FontPath on disk. How to do this depends on your version of XFree86 and where your X fonts are installed. All that info should be covered in the docs, or at least shouldn't be too hard to figure out. It smells like you probably have an older Hed Rat distribution, a few of versions which shipped with a broken init script for xfs, amongst other things... Rather than fixing that it's usually easier to just point XF86 to the actual directories. I never understood their funny insistence on using xfs without including the actual font paths in XF86Config.
