You can use this FontPath. However if xfs is running it will provide all
of the fonts to the server so only the "tcp/localhost:7100" line is really
used. And if xfs is not running, the X server will crash when it tries to
contact the nonexistant font server.

So, in short: yes you can use it, but this FontPat has no advantage
compared to the single line
     FontPath   "tcp/localhost:7100"
