In Mozilla, @font-face can be disabled completely by toggling
gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled and restarting the browser.
But yes, extensions to control use of src:url() on a per site
basis may become desirable.

In Mozilla, @font-face does not remove the ability for users to
disable author fonts (on Linux, at least - I haven't checked
implementations for other platforms).
This is still available through either of the following:
Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Advanced ->
"Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above."
View -> Page Style -> No Style
