I am trying to build using lighttpd.cygport and after uploading package
1.4.64-1, I got errors, so I tried adding
   PKG_OBSOLETES="lighttpd-mod_trigger_b4_dl"
to lighttpd.cygport and building lighttpd.cyport package 1.4.64-2

Am I using PKG_OBSOLETES incorrectly?

Yes. The cygport manual says that PKG_OBSOLETES is "A single-line string containing a list of package(s) which this package replaces.... Note that the PKG_OBSOLETES name is descriptive rather than literal, where "PKG" should be substituted with the name of the binary package whose contents it describes."

Is there something else I need to do to remove this subpackage?

I think what you want is simply for lighttpd-mod_trigger_b4_dl to be empty, which you can achieve with

 lighttpd_mod_trigger_b4_dl_CONTENTS=
