Hello,
When I use the filemanager to go to /usr/ports and I choose a port. Then I get a choice which programm I want to use to open it.
I fill in the custom choice nano and press open.
After that the desktop freezes complete Even crtl-alt-del does nothing anymore.

If you want to use a console application, you have to first specify the terminal emulator and then append the console app, like this:
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal -e nano %f
then it will open a terminal window and the nano editor will be launched and it will open the file you double-clicked for editing. The "%f" may be necessary so XFCE will know that it must pass the file name after the "nano" command (i.e. the file to be edited). If that doesn't work, remove the "%f". --
Maybe a stupid question but where do I enter the /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal -e nano %f Roelof
