well, I came up with a third way :-), Matthew pointed to db/pkg, and I noticed
that there where php5- and php53- (i had done a make in php53-extensions),
so I removed all the php5- and this time portmaster worked ok. I also home php
is doing ok but that will wait for the web guys ( i will probably take the week
off). This solution left /usr/local/lib/php/20090626-zts but that't the
least of my troubles.

understatement:
	why is POLA not applied to ports?

clarification:
	I'm very happy with ports, portsnap, portmaster, it's that sometimes
it explodes in my face

thanks all
