I was going to put together a FreeBSD port a while back, but I haven't
found the time to work on it.  If someone else thinks they can get to
it sooner, please do.

Yeah, OpenBSD is a bit different in this, since the ports tree has something
called 'flavors', which allow a single php4 port, with a number of options
passed to it, that create a unique package (php4-4.0.4pl1-mysql-imap-gettext
for example).

Flavour dependencies don't yet work, but it's easy to detect what flavour
is installed, and throw up a post-install warning if the required modules
aren't present.

FreeBSD and NetBSD will be harder, I suspect, since they don't really have
this mechanism (free in particular, is quite a mess wrt PHP ports last I looked)
