Really? Applications installed by Ports Collection
should be deployed under /usr/local/ or user defined
directory.

Sazanami font real paths are:

   real files:
     /usr/local/share/sazanami-ttf/sazanami-gothic.ttf
     /usr/local/share/sazanami-ttf/sazanami-mincho.ttf

   symbolic links:
     /usr/local/share/fonts/TrueType/sazanami-gothic.ttf
     /usr/local/share/fonts/TrueType/sazanami-mincho.ttf

Same as above I guess, it will be under /usr/local, uh?
