For Thunar, iirc it has to be linked against FAM libs to have file
system monitoring capacities (cf
http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/thunar/trunk/acinclude.m4), and the port
wasn't built by default against it.
But i admit this could be added as a LIB_DEPENDS, as it's a useful and
cheap feature. I'll try to test it after ports-tree unlock.
