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. > BTW: I know about portupgrade, but I guess it's not relevant here.
