I guess the xinit script does set the fontpath with local pathnames. This
will not work for remote X unless you have the fonts on the cygwin machine
in the same path as on the bsd machine.
You can instead use a fontserver. Add all fontpaths you need to
/etc/X11/fs/config, restart the fontserver and start Xwin with the parameter
-fp tcp/bsd-host:7100 (7100 is the default port for the fontserver)
If the config file contains a "nolisten = tcp" then remove this line too.
