Well, does library expat.4 actually exist? If not, then what version is the expat2 port installing? Assuming that expat2 installs a newer version of the library, you might be able to simply create a link named expat.4 and point it to the one expat installs. Then requests for expat.4 will simply point to the newer version, but this may only work reliably if you are sure that the newer version of the library is backward compatible with the older one.
