Description of Problem:
XFree86-4.2.0-6.24 fails to install because it can't find mkfontdir - even if
it's there:

root@localhost i386]# rpm -Fvh XFree*
error: failed dependencies:
	/usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir   is needed by XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6.24
	/usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir   is needed by XFree86-4.2.0-6.24

Isn't mkfontdir provided by XFree-xfs?

Anyway, I rebuilt the src.rpm using  rpm -bc. mkfontdir is built (without any
errors). I copied it to /usr/X11/bin.

[root@localhost i386]# ls /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfont*
/usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir

Still the same result from rpm -Fvh.

Do I just -nodeps?

Your RPM command failed, because it is incorrect.
You need to download all of the XFree86 rpm's, and then use:

rpm -Uvh XFree86-*.rpm

mkfontdir has moved from the XFree86-xfs subpackage to the
XFree86-font-utils subpackage, so that you do not need to install
or use xfs to get mkfontdir and ttmkfdir to install fonts.

rpm -Fvh only upgrades packages which are installed already, and
since XFree86-font-utils is not installed already, the xfs package
that is on your system that contains mkfontdir, gets replaced with
the new one without mkfontdir, the dependancy is no longer met.
