Your main problem is, that the PHP4-dev (cvs snapshot) requires
libtool 1.4, but there's only 1.3 in ports tree.
If you really want to do this, write to a php4-support list.
There is a php4-developer, derick@php.net, he is a very cooperatively
person, he runs php4-dev under FreeBSD, maybe he can help you.

Yes, that's right ...
