It looks like dbus is installed:

2016-12-30 20:12:12 toor@t7400 ~
# pkg info | grep -i dbus
dbus-1.8.20                    Message bus system for inter-application 
communication
dbus-glib-0.104                GLib bindings for the D-BUS messaging system

STFW I see:

http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/applicationsmenu

https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu


Taking some hints from the latter:

root@t7400:~ # head -n 29

Here is the source code for xfce4-session-logout:

/usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4-session/work/xfce4-session-4.12.1/xfce4-session-logout/main.c


I don't know GTK or dbus programming, but it looks like 
xfce4-session-logout displays the dialog box and then sends a message to 
dbus depending upon what the user clicks (?).  I don't know how GTK 
decides which buttons are enabled and which are disabled, or how dbug 
processes messages.
