You probably pulled an update from dev-libs/expat while you're system adopted the new use flags (if you do "emerge --newuse world" emerge will actually perform "emerge --newuse --update world"). The expat update deleted /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 and replaced it with /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1. All programs that where linked against libexpat.so.0 won't therefore work any longer. You need to run "revdep-rebuild" (from app-portage/gentoolkit) in order to fix the problem. Revdep-rebuild will search for all programs that link against the old library and recompile them (so that they link against the new version of expat). Try to emerge xfce4 after revdep-rebuild finished and your problem should be gone.
