I've experienced the same problem lately and, from what I've seen, the
xfce-base/xfce4-meta-4.6.1 only pulls x11-themes/hicolor-icon-theme and
x11-themes/xfce4-icon-theme, but this is not enough to have icons
associated with all menu items. In my case, x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme
fixed the issue, but x11-themes/tango-icon-theme should also do it.

If that works for you too, don't thank me, instead please fill a bug in
Gentoo's Bugzilla, so that others get to benefit from this... :)
