It has now support for reading XF86Config, but ...

Cygwin-Xfree does not use the module loader. Instead, the libraries are
compiled into XWin.exe

I just tried. It's not trivial.
The cygwin mkfontdir has no support for TTFs. So I had to use the one
from linux.
Copy the TTFs to linux, run in that directory "ttmkfdir >fonts.dir"
and copy the fonts.dir back to the cygwin directory with the TTFs
now you can set the fontpath to that directory (assuming it's ~/.fonts)
xset fp+ ~/.fonts
now you should have truetype fonts.
