Well -- so I guess since my fontconfig installation is via macports, Ryan was right in suggesting that my fontconfig was in /opt/local.  BUt cleaning it doesn't seemed to have helped.

My graphviz installation is not from macports though -- would this make a difference?

When you run your script (any script) as a cgi program under Apache, it runs under the user-id under which Apache itself runs.
That user-id may, or may not, have the same environment as when you run the script from the command-line, under (presumbaly) your own user-id.

I've set my apache user to be my username in the httpd.conf file, so shouldn't that not be an issue?
 

If the environment for your own user-id includes some environment variables which need to be set to indicate to the script where to find certain things (like maybe your .fonconfig cache file(s)),

I don't think it does, at last I don't see anything obvious in my user environment (where things are fast).
