Try running a make clean in x11-wm/xfce4-wm and have another go - it looks
like some kind of artefact from a previous, unsuccessful attempt to
build it.
portsclean, part of the portupgrade package, can help with things like
this - run portsclean -CDD every so often to keep your workdirs clean,
and to remove distfiles for ports that aren't installed.
