Pretty much correct.  /lang/php4 simply builds both the Apache
module and the CLI and CGI executables, and installs the lot;
therefore it also uses the ncurses config screen.

I think that if you desire to 'keep up' with PHP development by
means of portupgrade(1), then you'll want to place the "right
config arguments" in /etc/make.conf.  See make.conf(5) for the
real scoop on that one ....
