You could try the mel command snap3PointsTo3Points()

cmds.select (vertices_snap_to[:3], r=True)

cmds.select (vertices_snap[:3], addFirst=True)

mel.eval("snap3PointsTo3Points(0)")

You can also attach a follicle to the face, the follicle will then inherit (part of) it's orientation. Then you can parent things to it.
