Two options I can suggest: i) Install print/pdflib from ports -- everything else can come from packages, but pdflib is just painful and the licensing forces you to build from source. ii) Install phpmyadmin from ports, changing the options to turn off usage of pdflib. You won't be able to export stuff like DB schema to PDF files, but the rest of phpmyadmin's functionality will be there. Note: as phpmyadmin is pure PHP code, installing the port is just a matter of copying the files into place: hardly any difference to installing via package. Why can't pdflib just use a standard opensource license that eveyone knows how to deal with?
