I have the compiled X11R4 fonts installed in one location and all the
architectures that I support use those same compiled font files. That
tells me that, yes they are indeed machine independent.

I do the same for the include directory tree, as well.  In fact, the
app-defaults, rgb files, and most of those text files located in the
lib directory (except for config, of course) are machine independent
and I utilize that to the maximum extent possible as disk space is a
premium when it comes to X windows.
