That's not actually a problem. Libtool compiles cleanly on FreeBSD
(precisely: I have never had a single problem), so you can just
* download required versions of libtool and other autotools
(automake, autoconf...), and install them in, say, /opt.
* configure, and compile php:
% PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH ./buildconf
% PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH ./configure --with-this --enable-that
i don't use apache-2.0 yet (especially as the php4 developers
themselves say combination of apache-2.0 with php4 is alpha quality
at best), but this has always worked for me building HEAD checkouts
which i need to get decent CLI support.

Derick Rethans is indeed one of the greatest assets of the php
community.
