I would expect for those packages to be packages related with theme-ing of qt
applications when running in a gtk environment. So since XFCE uses gtk that
could be the reason.
So those packages are only relevant if you want the look of the different
toolkit packages to be the same.
But lyx does not connects directly to them, the relation is indirect, lyx uses
qt that can talk to the gtk environment to get the right theme.
So when building the binaries lyx will never use those packages. They are used
just at run time.
So no, those packages are not needed to compile lyx.
