It is strange that xft-config is not installed under the X bin directory. I just update the current X cvs and make install fontconfig and Xft and I get a new xft-config at the good place. Maybe Xft fail to compile (I do not know if make World will generate a fatal make error in this case). Do you have the file /usr/X11/lib/libXft.so.2.0 ?
