I just ran into this yesterday with a portupgrade. I just did pkg_deinstall 
-f (pkg_delete -f does the same in lieu) php5-pcre and so far haven't had
any problems. I also looked at phpinfo(); and it still is containing a 
listing for pcre support. YMMV

After the portupgrade php -v (I run php as fastcgi) segfaulted. I ran
the "reorder extensions.ini" script and it then complained about 
sqlite.so. Since I don't use that I just commented it out of extensions.ini.
In case anyone else sees the same.
