This is running 7-STABLE amd64. I used the pkg_rmleaves method and removed xfce4.4 and its leaf ports. Compiling completed without problems. On first start some icons were indeed missing, but where fixed as soon as I selected the tango theme. I can send you a complete list of the ports that were built if you wish, but I think there is probably something else that's wrong in your installation.
