Being more clear might be helpful to get more answers(no offence), fortunately I understood you. You're answer might be(starting to repeat what the handbook teaches):
first insert the package cd in your drive and do:
| Code: | | export PKGDIR=/dev/cdrom |
assuming that is your cdrom device, then to emerge xfce
| Code: | | emerge --usepkgonly xfce4 |
and that should be it.
Hope it helps.

| You'll want to mount the cd before you do anything though. Also, I'm pretty sure that --usepackageonly doesn't work for the package CD (at least I never got it to work) but plain ol' --usepackage worked fine. |
