I think just about EVERY item that does "extra damage" is capable of killing Trolls, provided it's not some element to which Trolls are immune (such as Cold). So, in attition to Fire and Acid, you can kill them with Poison, Lightning, and probably Magic Damage. Spider Spawn rules here, as does Valygar's Katana. (He's even killed a Gaseous Form with that Katana.)

[ADD:] Once you get some Fire/Acid arrows, you may want to conserve them. Only the final shot really matters, so don't waste 'em if you can't spare 'em. I liked having Minsc Tank with a 2-Handed Sword, take a Troll down, then quickly switch to his Composite Longbow and place a Fire Arrow directly into the downed Troll's ear.
