I don't know KDE/QT dependencies, or if kgpg has some special
integration with your choosen browser or any other special features
that you would need, but the GNU Privacy Assistant (GPA) is a GTK
interface for gpg which integrates nicely with Xfce, and doesn't have
any dependencies that is out of place on a Xfce system.

I don't know if it fits your needs, but it might be worth a try.
