You can copy the Xfm app-defaults to your file search path or add
/usr/pkg/lib/X11/app-defaults to the search path. The package
probably assumes the pkgsrc X libraries.

Then you get errors in that file regarding the translation strings.
If you strip the unknown translations HIST_TRANSLATION(..) and
LOG_TRANSLATION in that file, xfm will start. But it's not very
functional, e.g. a click on a folder icon has no effect.

The package needs some love...
