You probably need to recompile x11-wm/xfce4-desktop with FAM support. FAM support is on by default, but if gamin didn't get pulled in then it probably wasn't compiled with the FAM option. The FAM option for x11-fm/thunar is off by default, so you may need to recompile it with the FAM option turned on. You don't need to (nor should you) start gamin manually. It is the responsibility of the application which uses it to spawn gamin processes.
