I suspect he means this (from my .fonts.conf):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <dir>~/Library/Fonts</dir>
  <!-- this has legal ramifications; check first -->

The uncommented entries are the most significant, as they enable antialiased fonts instead of bitmaps. Linux distributions usually enable these by default, but last time I looked in /opt/local/etc/ fonts.conf it was disabled. (The port has been upgraded since then, so newer installations may have a different default.)
