Yes, but you'ld need several different php5-apache ports to account for the different versions of apache available: 1.3, 2.0, 2.2 at least -- or rather, the corresponding versions of devel/apr. apr itself can depend optionally on mysql, postgresql, openldap, etc. etc. -- each combination of options there produces a runtime pretty much incompatible with either apache or modules compiled against apr with other combinations of modules selected. You begin to see the problem? Having said that, I do feel that having mod_php5 support available as a pkg -- just compiled against the default apache version with the default apache/apr settings -- would be a positive thing. Sometimes you just want to throw some php application onto a server with minimum effort, and being able to do that without having to compile either php or apache is definitely a win.
