I think what Richard says is just that the fonts.dir, fonts.list and
fonts.scale files
were removed and they need to be there to describe to X11 what fonts
are installed in that directory. Basically the question is if you
can't add
those files to that directory, how can the Xserver use them ?

Sorry about the misunderstanding but they do exist on my system

are in my clean install. The modification dates is August 2015, so
they post Yosemite.. I can’t install mac ports to install stuff
right now to test.

There is a reason all users only have Read Only
Access to /System/Library/Fonts: You are not supposed to
add stuff there. Generally doing anything in /System is a
bad. /Library/Fonts is where fonts needed by all users
should go. If you are admin, you don’t even need to give
your password to add fonts to /Library/Fonts.
The cited fonts
were provided by Apple as part of the base system on
earlier OS versions. This is not a question of Apple
removing user-added fonts.
