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.
