(I'm not on my FreeBSD machines at the moment, but I just did this a
couple days ago.)  

I believe what you want to do is:

cd /usr/ports/lang/php4
make OPTIONS="openssl" install

 + usually you want to

cd /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions
make install

By *default*, php4 builds both the CLI for PHP and mod_php4; there are
separate port entry points to build one or the other alone.  Poke
around the ports directories and look at the pkg-descr and pkg-message
files, and/or the Makefiles themselves.  OPTIONS tells it what type of
Apache installation to look for among other things.

BTW, I recommend you go to Apache 2 when you can, as it's been stable
for years now and that's where all the development is going on.
