Working through this issue with expat not building shared libs, the 
maintainer noticed this:

creating libtool
checking host system type... i386-unknown-kfreebsd4.9-gnu

checking whether to build shared libraries... no
checking whether to build static libraries... yes

what isn't letting us build shared libs and what's that funky system 
type?

Other ports don't have this issue, at least from the others I chose at 
random.
