Yes, create a symlink in /etc/X11/fontpath.d

For an explanation of why chkfontpath and xfs have gone away, plus what 
people should do instead, see

It "should not" be necessary, according to what I understand from what I 
have read.  If you have a very special situation and need to run it, you 
could try back-porting 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/xorg-x11-xfs   There are 
also third-party repositories that offer xfs packages for RHEL6, but how 
trustworthy they are I don't know.
