Yup.  This would also tell you anything that required mod_php4 as well
as the stuff that required apache directly.

That means there aren't any ports installed that require mod_php4.  

mod_php4 is quite likely to be at the end of a dependency chain.  If
there aren't any ports installed that depend on it, it's probably been
manually installed because someone had some php pages to serve up.
Take a look at /usr/local/www/data/ and other likely spots to see if
you can find any .php files, and see if you can track back from those
to whoever installed it.
