Sorry, this makes sense, they should have been marked BROKEN, not removed.
However, of the ports I cited:
_ audio/xfce4-mixer was removed
_ deskutils/xfce4-generic-slider was marked BROKEN;
_ sysutils/xfce4-kbdleds-plugin was left untouched.

(N.B. I'm not complaining, Just trying to help reaching a coherent result).

The way I understand it, they are not fixable (of course short of a 
major rewriting).
If they are supposed to be fixable, I might even try and see if I can 
help (although I won't promise anything).
