Yes, the patches apply against vanilla sources.

Afaics Xprint in X.Org 6.9.0 does use Freetype internals, but it seems to be 
no problem, at least none that is apparent.

The fontconfig patch is copied from 
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/patches/fontconfig-2.3.2-noftinternals.patch
 , 
with file names adapted for X.Org 6.9.0; one patch for 
xc/lib/fontconfig/Imakefile  was added.
The Xfont patch is copied from 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=6033 (Bug #6918), also with 
adapted file names.

With best regards,
