libphp4.so usually is linked to libexpat.

You may want to try including the expat buildlink file.

Maybe add to bottom of pkgsrc/www/php4/Makefile.common:

.include "../../textproc/expat/buildlink3.mk"

Do a "make clean" followed by "make" again.

I didn't test the above, but hopefully it helps you.
