Not really.  The folders in the System folder don't do anything; they're just 
there to make some System 7 apps happy.  To install fonts, you must put them 
in the hot band, and only bitmap fonts work.  They are not aliases there, I 
don't think, but dragging into the Fonts folder won't do anything (or at 
least didn't last time I checked).
