It's separate.  Here's a reposting of my way to get it installed. 
Note that if you have autoconf 2.52d-r1 or greater (like 2.53, for
example), you need step 5 and the make -k format.  In this case you
may also need to use ./autogen.sh in place of ./configure.

All I did to get this was:
1. su -
2. cd to desired directory to hold cvs image
3. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.xfce.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xfce
co xfce-stable (it helps if you have installed cvs <grin>)
4. cd to directory downloaded (xfce-stable)
5. Remove last line from configure.in (fix po install error for now if
you have autoconf 2.52d-r1 or greater)
6. ./configure     --prefix=/usr \
       --datadir=/usr/share \
       --sysconfdir=/etc/X11 \
       --enable-xft \
       --enable-taskbar \
       --enable-gdm && \
    make -k install-strip (remove the -k, if you have a lower version
of autoconf)
7. restart xfce and enjoy

To activate the taskbar, click in the miniscule space between the
bottom of the panel and the dividing line for the buttons area.
