That's normal. You only selfupdated initially, and nothing changed.

This can happen when there are a number of packages that all need to
be installed.

This is also normal. The build engine isn't always smart about
selecting the a header package.

However, this is not _my_ problem. Your install failure was for
xml-sax-expat-pm5123. The fact that you ultimately wanted octave324
is completely irrelevant.
I know that this version-revision of Octave is currently only on 10.7,
as is Perl-5.12.3, but I don't know what Xcode you were using, since
you cut out that text.
Though, actually, your problem isn't even with xml-sax-expat-pm5123. It
appears to be in
/sw/lib/perl5/5.12.3/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.bundle,
which is installed by xml-parser-pm5123. I'll cc the proper
maintainer for your issue.
The symbol shows up as undefined here, too, but I don't have the
install problem (10.7 with Xcode 4.2, having just rebuilt
xml-parser-pm5123):
$ nm -o
/sw/lib/perl5/5.12.3/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.bundle
| grep _Perl_Gth
/sw/lib/perl5/5.12.3/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.bundle:
U _Perl_Gthr_key_ptr
Looking in the list archives, there was a similar problem which was
due to someone having an extra Perl binary in their PATH. What do you
get if you run
type -a perl5.12
in a terminal window?
