That's not completely right:

% gzip -dc xfce-3.4.0-freebsd.i386.bin.tar.gz| tar tf - | head
usr/local/bin/startxfce
usr/local/bin/xfbd
usr/local/bin/xfce
usr/local/bin/xfce_remove
usr/local/bin/xfce_setup
usr/local/bin/xfclock
usr/local/bin/xfgnome
usr/local/bin/xfhelp
usr/local/bin/xflock
usr/local/bin/xfmountdev

You see the missing / at the beginning of the line? Your files are put
in /usr/ports/distfiles/usr/local/bin/. How about the following:

% cd / && (gzip -dc /usr/ports/distfiles/xfce-3.4.0-freebsd.i386.bin.tar.gz| tar xf -)

Well, I would call it correct behavior. BTW: Why are you putting 
precompiled binaries into /usr/ports/distfiles?
