I've never had any problems with Terminus being added to fontpath in .xinitrc but you can use xorg.conf for that too. If you have net-tools installed, you shouldn't be getting errors about hostname being missing. hostname will be provided by inetutils, as was explained in the mailing list message I linked to. I'm currently running testing and I have no problems with X, hostname does its job (whatever that might be ;P), I'm using Terminus and have 'xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local &; in my .xinirtc - all seems to work. When I downgrade to [core] (i.e. I'm not using [testing] anymore), things still work, so the current net-tools should be all you need.
