If you want to remain at PHP 5.3, a new port (lang/php53) has been
created for such purpose.

+ If as above, you want to stay at lang/php53, and you have lang/php5 (5.3)
+ currently installed, you should allow portmaster to fix this up for you.
+ Update your ports tree, and do this:
+ portmaster -o lang/php53 lang/php5
+ It should do the right things, including fix-up all the dependent ports
+ to point at the newly installed port. (with thanks to Kevin Oberman)
