I don't think there is one "correct" way - you can use the ports tree
as a browser. If you know SQL, you can install sqlite, sqlports (and
maybe a graphical query editor like sqliteman) and search that way.
Another alternative that some people find easier is to use a website
like http://ports.openbsd.nu/.

In the case of xfce, you're in luck, this was just committed:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/x11/xfce4/xfce4-session/files/README.OpenBSD?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

It refers to the newer xfce version in -current but should get
you started.
