I've tried it and i get a "command not found"
message for sudo and startx and local can't start.

I've tried something else :
in /etc/init.d/xdm, i added
snip --------------------

   case "${MY_XDM}" in

   xfce)
                   EXE=/usr/bin/startxfce4
                    ;;

snip ---------------

Then i ran the /etc/init.d/xdm runscript with
DISPLAYMANAGER="xfce" in rc.conf

So xfce4 starts at boot, but as root, not as user.
