The straightforward answer would appear to be eight, using separate toothpicks to form each letter.
(Use 3 in the F, 3 in the A, and 2 in the T.)
However, if you can use the same toothpicks for all three letters at the same time, you only need three. (see related link)
Using 3 Toothpicks
By overlapping the three toothpicks at the proper angles, you can simultaneously form an F, an A, and a T. Place the toothpicks atop each other to form a small triangle in the middle. You will see the letters F, A, and T within the angles formed. The horizontals of the F are, however, oddly splayed and not parallel.
