AFAIK xfs doesn't fork so you should start it with /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs& in
your initscripts to allow booting procedure to continue. That's bullet proof
way. Depending on your distribution there may be some additional ways to do
it. Here's how I launch it in SuSE:

-------------8<-------------------8<--------------------
#! /bin/sh
#
# /sbin/init.d/xfs

. /etc/rc.config

return=$rc_done
case "$1" in
	start)
	    echo -n "Start font server"
	    startproc /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs || return=$rc_failed
	    echo -e "$return"
	    ;;
	stop)
	    echo -n "Shut down font server"
	    killproc -TERM /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs || return=$rc_failed
	    echo -e "$return"
            ;;
esac

test "$return" = "$rc_done" || exit 1
exit 0
