Comment(by sewebster@…):

 I can see why you would want to "hack things together" with the links to
 make it work, but I'm not sure it is going to lead to the easiest
 resolution and might cause problems down the road.  In this case, I
 wouldn't be too surprised if the reason it is looking in /usr/local/lib is
 because it has the "wrong" version of Parser.pm... you've linked in the
 OSX system one from /System/Library, instead of using the one from
 macports?  Macports stays away from using system libraries for a variety
 of reasons (http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#ownlibs).

 So, in this case, if you were going to try to solve the problem with
 links, I would be linking to /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1
 /darwin-multi-2level/XML/Parser.pm but again, making links willy-nilly
 isn't really best.

 Is expat installed correctly?
