php4-extensions isn't *required* to install extension modules. It's
just a handy way for people to manually select what they want out of
all of the available extensions. Each extension nowadays is a
stand-alone port, like any other port. PHP applications that require
a certain extension in order to work simply have to register a
run-time dependency on each of the extension modules they need. Mosr
of the PHP applications in the ports tree have already been modified
to do that.
