xpat2 builds well from ports because it uses the supplied Makefile. No problem there.

There are multiple options to building xpat2 like using Motif vice Xaw etc. I prefer the Motif version. There is a tmpl file in the src directory where you can modify things then run xmkmf to generate the new Makefile and build it to your taste.
