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.

Not sure about the yum or apt repos...sorry. But you could try the Xfce Installer:

It's a thing of beauty. It's basically a graphical front-end to building all of the Xfce 4.2 software (Xfce 4.2 was just released a couple of days ago).
