First, note that the Xerces check in the v.in.wfs script is broken; it
uses "ldd", which (AFAIK) is specifc to Linux. You might want to try
removing the lines:

	if [ -z "`ldd $OGRINFO | grep xerces`" ] ; then
	  g.message -e "OGR needs to be compiled with xerces-c support"
	  exit 1
	fi

from the $GISBASE/scripts/v.in.wfs file.

Other than that, I don't know whether William's GDAL framework
includes Xerces. If it doesn't, you'll probably need to build GDAL
(and possibly Xerces itself) from source.
