I truly don't understand how fonts are supposed to work with the 
combination of OS X, Qt and Myth.  At one point, I was getting the 
"Failed to load" message all the time (I virtually always use 
MythCenter Wide for testing).  I used the Font Book application to 
load Liberation Sans and DejaVu Sans into OS X and the messages went 
away.

The MacPorts install puts the fonts that Myth ships with in 
/opt/local/share/mythtv/fonts.  "DejaVu LGC Sans" and "Fluid" are not 
among those.  If you can locate copies of the fonts, try placing them 
in the above directory or loading them into Font Book.

I've noticed that too but it only happens at startup and don't seem 
to cause any ill effects...

Thanks for all the work and for reporting back!
