I haven't tried it, but there shouldn't be a reason why this can't be done.
The kde wm is kwin, and can be changed by any arbitrary wm, like {flux,open,black}box, fvwm, icewm, enlightenment or whatever. The same for gnome, I have seen it even running with tiling wm's like xmonad, no problem.
In kde you can do this by just setting the KDEWM variable.
In gnome it's just a matter of killing its native wm (metacity) and launching fluxbox instead. Then, the gnome session manager will *remember* the wm that is loaded, and will start it automatically from that moment.
In xfce there's a session manager, so, maybe, this trick can be done as well. If not, you can open the xfce4-session script (or whatever it's called) on a text editor and check it's contents. I guess that there must be a way to change xfwm by fluxbox, and see no reason why it couldn't be done.
EDITED: If you don't understand the script, paste xfce4-session in pastebin.com or wherever and put a link here, so I can review it. I don't have xfce installed so I can't look at it on my own box.
