It is not possible to install Xfce on Damn Small Linux without extensive modification. Damn Small Linux uses a very crude Xserver that is not capable of rendering Xfce. Also, the versions of several libraries needed for Xfce are too old. It would be far easier to start of with a distro that supported Xfce from the start, like Xubuntu.
