Those seem to be the lines for mac-usbfree and mac-build, but presumably
you are building for FreeBSD.  Therefore, those changes probably won't
make any difference whatsoever.

The error message indicated that it's unable to find the header file
for expat; it hasn't gotten far enough to know whether it can find
the library, but if it's really in /usr/local/lib I think it should
be able to find it; that's where mine is and I build gpsbabel regularly.

I *think* the problem you're really encountering is that wherever you
have expat.h, it isn't in your include path.  I solved that problem for
myself by copying expat.h from the expat distribution into the
/usr/local/include directory; that might not be the best solution, but
it seems to work for me.
