I do want to see LXDE fully ported and am happy to help if others want to do the work.
LXDE is modular and the following are in place
editors/leafpad
graphics/gpicview
x11/openbox
x11/pcmanfm
x11/lxrandr


LXpanel is the major missing component : audio volume, clock/calendar, network manager, menu and application launchers.

Early in the LXDE project, the desktop used fbpanel. fbpanel was buggy leading to a complete rewrite as LXpanel. Some LXDE users were not that impressed and would tolerate some Xfce4 libs to run xfpanel.

I choose a different route because the tint2 project was active, adding features, bug fixes, bsd support and was written in C. With the tint2 update, tint2 can do everything, and more, that lxpanel does/did..

There was a submission of lxappearance to the ports mailing list a couple of months ago that did not go anywhere.

Here is a screen shot with some of the applications and a lighter theme
