Usually, if you want to do this it is better to not install to a system 
location like /usr or /usr/local, but rather to something like 
/opt/xfce4-svn .

I have something like this in my bash settings:

XFCEDIR=/opt/xfce4-svn

PATH=$XFCEDIR/bin:$XFCEDIR/sbin:$PATH
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$XFCEDIR/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$XFCEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
