susosin patch is not a 'compatibility' issue.  it is a security issue.
I would consider recommending a lang/php54 port, for people who 
absolutely need it.  include the 'WITH_SUHOSIN_PATCH' knob and mark it 
'IGNORE' so that anyone who expects the stsndard, default, upward 
compatible security will be warned against installing this port.

leave php5.3 the default lang/php5 for now.  wait till suhosin patch is 
released.  use lang/php54 for anyone who absolutely must play with 5.4
(I am still going through pains replacing apache 13 and php5.2 with 
nginx and php53).  don't think I want to /_by default_/ open up a 
security hole.
