The php5 port seems to look in the port dir tree for installed dependants instead of the /ver/db/pkg I have all of php5 dependants preinstalled as packages. I install the dependants for (port named links. Which is a command line browser) as packages and then do the make install clean command in the LINKS port tree directory so I can change the install defaults to use sva support and it finds all its dependants are loaded and complies fine. Using this same technique for php5 it says the dependants are not installed when I run the php5 port. Looks like the port php5 is looking in the ports directory tree to determine if the dependants are installed. I think this is incorrect behavior. Is this a problem in the way the php5 port is written? It's my understanding that ports are suppose to be written to check /ver/db/pkg to determine if dependants are available.
