Hi Garrett,

Yeah, I think you are right that it doesn't install session support by 
default. I remember running into this myself. The solution is to install 
  the lang/php4-extensions port if you don't already have it installed. 
That port will give you options to install all kinds of php extensions 
that you might need including session support.

If you already have the lang/php4-extensions port installed and you need 
a different way to install session support, install the www/php4-session 
port directly.
