Xfce development is done in C and Glib/GTK+ so you'll at least need to learn those. Code is managed using GIT so you also need to get familiar with this tool to contribute. A good way to get started once you have those basics is to work on fixing simple bugs reported on the Xfce bugzilla. A second step could be to volunteer as a maintainer for an Xfce Goodies project.

I hope this helps getting you started, don't hesitate if you have more questions.
