Is there a *technical* reason?

No, there's just no reason. That's like saying that people shouldn't
create packages for use with pkg_add unless the ports are in FreeBSD
proper. pear.php.net supports alien packages, see the bottom of
http://pear.php.net/packages.php

Anything particular to look for?

Ignore ports for a while. Go to http://pear.php.net/channels/,
follow the link to http://pear.horde.org/, and install Horde_VFS
using the procedure described there, which is:
pear install http://pear.horde.org/Horde_VFS-0.0.1.tgz
Where will it be installed (on FreeBSD, with PHP / pear(1) from ports)?

Well, it's /usr/local/lib/php/pear on this box (php4-pear-4.3.11_1),
which means ports-installed pear puts packages in a directory that's
not in include_path, and that smells like a bug, but...
