That seems very clear to me.  You have libdrm 2.0 installed, but xfce4 (or
one of its dependencies most likely) requires libdrm 2.4.3 or later.

You will need to update libdrm first.  

(You should probably consider updating all of your installed ports/packages.
 Having some of the installed ports/packages compiled from an old ports tree
 and some of them compiled from a newer version of the ports tree is
 generally not a good idea.  Things can break in strange ways if you mix
 versions that way.)
