OK, checking ~/.dt/sessionlogs/* files, I tracked the problem to Xfce4 xinitrc
file:

/opt/pkg/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc

Xfce executables were not in the PATH, so it couldn't find them. I had to add
the following lines to this file, plus some other fixes to get it working:

#!/bin/sh
XFCE_PROG_PATH=/opt/pkg/bin
PATH=$PATH:$XFCE_PROG_PATH
export PATH

...

I'm gonna file a bug report with NetBSD's pkgsrc and submit a few patches.
