It can vary from application to application.

You will not see a lot of information about specific ports, that is
non-FreeBSD codes, in the FreeBSD handbook and FAQ.

That said, X apps often like to hide stuff in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, but
no guarantees that's where this one puts it. (I use fvwm2, and it
actually _moved_ its modules in a minor version number change.)

I notice their website hides the docs a bit but,

  http://www.xfce.org/help/help.html

Looks like it might have what you want. A lot of the docs are
Windows-style help ("To exit the application, push the 'Exit' button").
You can also look to see where other stuff that might be modules might
have been installed.
