"xdg" for <include> elements means XDG_CONFIG_HOME, which is normally 
~/.config (see 
http://freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html, 
fonts-conf(5), and 
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html). 
So the location would normally be ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf.

NB. "xdg" for <dir> elements means XDG_DATA_HOME and it's already 
configured in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, so I think the <dir> element in the 
example you posted is probably not necessary.
