In the time honored FreeBSD tradition of answering my own email, I have
XMMS working again.

I moved the .xmms directory in my home directory to old.xmms and
started XMMS again. Low and behold it created a new .xmms directory and
XMMS started. The only problem that I have is I can no longer douvle
the size of the graphic player. 

I didn't mention before but I am using xfce4.4.1_1
