OK, I really hate answering my own post; however, I did get it to work.
I did the following:
1) pkg_delete -dfv xfce4-settings\*
I then reinstalled the port.
I followed the same procedure with "xfce4-panel" and "libICE"
I rebooted the system and all is well (at least right now). I have no
idea what the problem is (was); however, one of those three programs
was obviously broken.
