I would worry that the emerge of xfce4-panel might then bring in other
testing packages as dependencies (but I don't know for sure).
I would think it saver to add xfce-panel to package.keywords
echo xfce-extra/xfce4-panelmenu >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
(mkdir /etc/portage if you don't already have it.)
There are various prefixes and suffixes you could add.
See man portage for details
For example my package.keywords is currently
x11-misc/googleearth
app-editors/emacs-cvs
~x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774
~net-print/cups-1.2.1-r2
~app-text/libpaper-1.1.14.8
net-wireless/bcm43xx-fwcutter
#~media-gfx/graphviz-2.12
