The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been split
into 'base' PHP, PEAR, and shared extensions to allow
more flexibility and add new features.
Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a
'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions).
PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and
devel/php5-pear ports, while the set of PHP extensions
to install can be choosen via the meta-ports
lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing
singular extensions individually.
The syntax may not be verbatim, as I pulled the snippet
from another posting, but there lies your answer ;)
