Maybe a permissions problem?

Get xfce-3.4.0-freebsd.i386.bin.tar.gz; it's extracted into usr, not
/usr, so copy it to /, cd to /, tar zxvf xfce...; then rm /xfce...

You need to be root if your permissions are restrictive.

I tried this yesterday; no problems (so far :)  --  xfwm (the window
manager) is running as I write this, and looks good.
