I'm sorry, I made mistake in previous my answer, your command is correct
as well.

On my ports collection I also can't build expect.  It seems that ld(1)
doesn't understand -Wl option, actually this is a option of gcc(1) for
the linker.  Check output of "ld --help" and man page for gcc.

When "make WITHOUT_X11=yes build" reaches that error message on my system,
I modified expect's Makefile (in the work directory) and successfully
build expect from ports collection.

Modification: change "-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib" to "-rpath /usr/local/lib"
in expect's Makefile.

Right now I can run expect, but more tests should be done if above
mentioned modification is correct.

I suppose that this a bug and appropriate PR should be sent to FreeBSD.
