I imagine you're using the ports tree supplied with FreeBSD 5.1, which would be very old, so you'll encounter missing distfiles like the above. You could update your ports tree, however the ports tree in 2015 is no longer compatible with FreeBSD 5.1. I suspect PHP 5.0.0 is EOL upstream and has security issues and other bugs. I wouldn't recommend using it. Upgrading your server to a modern version of FreeBSD would allow you to install current supported versions of PHP, etc.
