Try installing the package distribution from ftp.freebsd.org (using sysinstall).

I got it to build on FreeBSD 4.1 by doing the following
from the expat-1.95. 0 directory:

cd lib
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DPACKAGE=expat -DVERSION=\"1.95.0\" -I. -I..  -g -O2 -c xmlparse.c
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DPACKAGE=expat -DVERSION=\"1.95.0\" -I. -I..  -g -O2 -c xmltok.c
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DPACKAGE=expat -DVERSION=\"1.95.0\" -I. -I..  -g -O2 -c xmlrole.c
cd ..
make

for some reason libtool never compiles the source files;
it just tries to link the object files, which haven't been
built.  i have no idea why that is.  gcc also complains 
about VERSION when building xmlparse.c unless you put it
in the escaped quotation marks as above.
