No, this patch is not correct. This is, IIRC, exactly what BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED was originally put into pkgsrc for -- the handle the case where a lot of software can continue to build with the old version of a library even though the latest version in pkgsrc has had a shlib major bump. What you are running into is basically the problems with running with IGNORE_RECOMMENDED=yes, which is why that default to "no".
You can just directly add the following directly into your /etc/mk.conf to force a newer expat:
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.expat+= expat>=2.0.0
This setting will be picked up and used by all packages that include
expat/buildlink3.mk. In case anyone is wondering, this is precisely why
buildlink3.mk files set BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.* with += instead of =.
