Everything on the machine should be kept up-to-date.  If you don't plan 
on using using it, you should pkg_deinstall it ("less is more" when it 
comes to security).  Just leaving old versions sitting around is a 
security nightmare.

Plus, running "portupgrade -a" is so much easier...

Answered in another response by Matthew Fuller.

The pointer is specified in /usr/local/etc/php.ini.  Setting 
"extension_dir" to "/usr/local/lib/php/20040412/" should make php find 
the extensions again, but no guarantees on whether it will work -- there 
had to be a reason to bump the date.  In any case, rebuilding your 
extensions is the long-term solution.
