As to Centos, there are not native RH packages for xfce4 in
CentOS 2 or CentOS 3; Those projects are of course fairly
strict rebuild rather than extension efforts. It is
straightforward, if a bit tiring to build it from sources, and
it builds and runs just fine on CentOS 3, CentOS 4 beta and
cAos-2 beta. I just snapshoted a new one under CentOS-34 with
xfcalendar and xfce4-weather

I maintain a README, and copies of sources of xfce4 at 4.0.6
at:
ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/mirror/ORC/xfce4/
which outlines the process and build sequence to permit doing
just that, along with some later xfce applets and gtk
packages.
I have also build the later (newly released) 4.2 (both 'along
the way' and after its formal release across the weekend) on
CentOS 3 and in the CentOS 4 beta candidate.
