I don't know about this one, but

when you cvsuped, the ports tree got updated and this included a
new version of expat. Read /usr/ports/UPDATING always after
you cvsup your ports.

You should try to avoid doing this. When a you update a
shared library to a new major version, it is recommended
that you recompile all ports that were linked against this
library.

If you use portupgrade (sysutils/portupgrade), this can be
easily done like this

portupgrade -rf your_shared_library_port

this will upgrade the shared library rebuild all ports that
depend on it.

In this case, it will be 

portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2

as explained in UPDATING. But beware, this can take a looong
time, as many ports depend on expat.
