Exist a much easier way to avoid unmasking packages. Go to your /etc/make.conf. Change your architecture from "x86" to "~x86". Now emerge xfce4-panel. If you don't want to be in the testing architecture. Go back and change "~x86" to "x86". That's pretty easy... and no need to unamsk!

Removing all of this from package.keywords fixed it:

xfce-extra/terminal
>=xfce-extra/exo-0.3.2
>=xfce-base/xfce-mcs-plugins-4.4.0
>=xfce-base/libxfcegui4-4.4.0
>=xfce-base/libxfce4util- 4.4.0
>=xfce-base/xfce-mcs-manager-4.4.0
>=xfce-base/libxfce4mcs-4.4.0

That is all required for the terminal package though.  I guess I
should wait until I upgrade to xfce-4.4 before I bring terminal back
into the loop?
