Yes and that's not a bug. There's a message telling you to add that dir to your PHP include path when you install PEAR via ports [1]. If you follow the docs/INSTALL [2] (3.3 Additional PEAR Modules) file you will see that required PEAR packages are installed using a remote package. That's exactly what the Horde port does. When you are using a port you have to install the files following the FreeBSD directory standards [3]. That's why PEAR is installed inside ${PREFIX}/share/pear. Keep in mind that you will have to chosse between pear-* ports structure or the PEAR CLI.
