I dunno what would cause this problem, maybe your system has a second
vte.pc for a version < 0.11.11.

Anyway, here's a workaround to get you started:

(1) Extract the installer in /tmp using ./xfce4-4.3.90.2-installer.bin
--extract-only
(2) Go to /tmp/xfce4-4.3.90.2-installer and apply the attached patch
with patch -Np0 < /path/to/main.c.patch (this will remove the VTE
dependency check, pray that Terminal's configure will be able to locate
the appropriate vte.pc)
(3) Now run ./bootstrap.sh and install as usual.
