There's a new mechanism you are not aware of.  Read /usr/ports/UPDATING 
(the php section).  You now install php (the base) and php-extensions.  The 
menu is now with extensions.  You can do a make config if you want to make 
changes to it.

Make sure you read UPDATING.  There's a gotcha in there having to do with 
the extensions_dir variable in the php.ini file.
