What port names need to be installed to create a XFCE4 desktop
environment?
I was looking for a mega port like kde3 has but could not identify one.
Thanks in advance.
I'm going to rake a random guess: x11-wm/xfce4 ?

Thank you for your random guess, but research of the ports system seem to
indicate a whole suite of ports are needed to build a complete working
environment.
Waiting for a real user to fill in the details of what combination of ports
they used to build their XFCE4 desktop.
It is not really a random guess, x11-wm/xfce4 is the metaport you need
to build for a working XFCE4 environment.
There are a couple of additional tools you may also wish to use in this
environment. I would recommend graphics/ristretto for a lightweight
image viewer, sysutils/thunar-volman-plugin to handle mounting of
external media, sysutils/xfce4-battery-plugin if running on a laptop.
Also, make sure to read:
Section 5.7.4:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html
For usb mounting:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/usb-disks.html
For policy kit / hal settings:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html
and when compiling Thunar (the file manager) make sure to select FAM
support from the options dialog.
