These .TMP files are probably worthless to fontconfig. Every time you try to 
start an application that is linked to fontconfig, your app will hang until 
fontconfig tries to rebuild the font caches again (and fails).

You can have fc-cache operate on just one directory by doing something like:

/opt/X11/bin/fc-cache -v /System/Library/Fonts

or

/opt/X11/bin/fc-cache -v /opt/X11/share/fonts

Try this on some of the font directories that failed and see if you get a 
different result when you operate on just one directory. It looks like you have 
480 separate directories with fonts; maybe there is something wrong with one of 
these directories that fontconfig doesn't like.
