The expat.h in the port will define it as long as __GNUC__ is defined, which it should be for any version of gcc I can recall. Non of the usual -questions information is included in the message (see http://www.lemis.com/questions.html for guidance), and the problem does not occur on my system (-STABLE and ports updated within the last week).
