Ah - I should have read pkg_info man. I often use it with -Ix switch but 
failed to see that it can also check dependencies.

Now I know it is required by php5-extensions-1.1. Do you think I should 
be relatively safe by commenting it out in the extensions file, 
restarting apache and seeing what is going on?

I still do not know which application really needs posix. But many 
thanks Robert!
