You should not install ports directly from the /usr/ports/lang directory.
The content here seems to be ports that other ports use in a combination. Not stand alone ports.
My guess is that /usr/ports/lang/php4 propably does not have a dependency list and therefore required ports are not installed automatically.
Instead, try /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 or /usr/ports/www/php4-cgi

That will work - i hope:)
