It's a different problem now, an xorg crash.  If you've got time, it 
might be easiest to delete all your ports (pkg_delete), update your 
ports tree, and start again.

If you're convinced your xorg install is good, you could selectively 
force-delete all the xfce ports ('pkg_info | grep xfce' along with 
Terminal, Thunar, some other stuff).  The make rmconfig-recursive in 
xfce4 and start again.

Otherwise, it's hard to tell where the problem lies, but you may need to 
rebuild xorg and then build xfce.
