 portupgrade is your friend.  In this case what happened (I think) is
 that the shared library version number for expat was incremented and
 subversion (rightfully) wants the newer one.  If you portupgrade the
 expat port, it'll save away a copy of the old library (or libraries) so
 your 126 existing ports can use them.

 Unfortunately, I'm actually fairly clueless about how dialog works.  I
 was just trying to see how it related to subversion.
