The current way the RHL XFree packages are set up is that X fonts are
handled via xfs. Using an explicit font path isn't really being
supported anymore. Therefore, it makes sense that the XFree packages
require xfs.

Why don't you just stop xfs from running by removing it from your
startup with chkconfig? Or remove the package with --nodeps if you
really don't want it on there at all.
