I have three comments on this subject:

1) I compiled php with the --with-apxs option and the /usr/local/bin/php
executable file was installed anyway. And when I used the command 
"pear install DB", for example, it worked. Are you sure I need to recompile
php to get this executable there? My php version is  php-4.3.11.

2) If it's really necessary to compile php twice, I think you could remark
this in the begining of the php installation section, this way people get
more acquainted with the procedures they're going to do.

3) It would be handy if you provide a "quick install" summary with only the
commands needed to install the php correctly, letting the detailed
installation (with the explanations) after this quick install guide. This
quick install could be something like:
To install php for horde, download and extract the php package and:
cd ~php-4.X/
./configure --with-opt1 --with-op2 ...
make
make install
pear install module1
pear install module2
...
# compile php again to install the static binary
make clean
./configure
make
make install
etc

This would help to give a broad vision of the installation process.

Thank you for the attention,
Bruno Negrao.
