New description:

 ogr2ogr fails to convert XML based input files for lack of a XML parser
 library built in. The error message by ogr2ogr is cryptic and does not
 point to the problem.

 I strongly suggest to build gdal by default --with-expat !
 Expat seems to be used with many other ports so the impact of a default=ON
 should be low. xerces currently fails to build so expat is the choice.

 {{{
 variant kmlgpx description {Enable XML (KML and GPX) conversions via expat
 library.} {
         depends_lib-append              port:expat
         configure.args-delete   --without-expat
         configure.args-append   --with-expat=${prefix}
 }
 }}}
