I think you can install the port "xscreensaver" which
integrates well with Xfce. At least it did the last
time I did look at it. :-)
The xscreensaver program does show a screensaver or
use the monitor's DPMS feature after a specified
time without interaction. It will then require a
password to unlock the session.
Note: I'm using the classic "xlock" command (with
installed port "xlockmore") and usually lock the
session by pressing ("slapping") the "Help" key
(which is the double-width key on the top left on
a Sun keyboard, quite handy). I'm not sure if xlock
has an option for setting a timeout value...
