Ia32-libs-gtk included it, which means some 32bit application must have
needed it at some time. The multiarch ia32-libs-gtk package therefore
depends on gtk2-engines-xfce. Unfortunately we didn't keep a log of why
each packages was added to ia32-libs-gtk.

>From the package description and reverse depends it looks like it would
be possible to silently drop the depends on gtk2-engines-xfce, if you
agree. I can't think of anything that would depend on it via
ia32-libs-gtk.
