I successfully installed the phpwiki port with mysql support. This is 
what I did.

1. installed the port from /usr/ports/www/phpwiki

2. copied /usr/local/www/data-dist/phpwiki to my html data directory

3. installed mysql server and client ports

4. installed php4-mysql port

5. used the instructions at /usr/local/share/doc/phpwiki/ and 
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/06/05/wiki.html to configure 
mysql

6. edited phpwiki/index.php to activate the mysql stuff

7. followed the instructions at 
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
and added

foreach ($_REQUEST as $k => $v) $$k = $v;
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) $QUERY_STRING = 
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
  if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) $PHP_AUTH_USER = 
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
  if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])) $PHP_AUTH_PW = 
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];

to the top of index.php and admin.php.

8. restarted Apache


and it (finally) seems to work.

A bit longer and more involved than advertised, but an interesting 
puzzle.

Thanks for all the advice

Alan
