Okay, here's what I did..

PEAR
pear config-create /path/to/horde-beta /path/to/horde-beta/pear.conf
pear -c /path/to/horde-beta/pear.conf install pear

PHP
cp /path/to/horde4/.htaccess /path/to/horde-beta/
vim /path/to/horde-beta/.htaccess

Add
php_value include_path /path/to/horde-beta/pear/php
SetEnv PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR /path/to/horde-beta


Install Horde5
/path/to/horde-beta/pear/pear -c /path/to/horde-beta/pear.conf
channel-discover pear.horde.org
/path/to/horde-beta/pear/pear -c /path/to/horde-beta/pear.conf install
horde/horde_role
/path/to/horde-beta/pear/pear -c /path/to/horde-beta/pear.conf
run-scripts horde/horde_role
/path/to/horde-beta/pear/pear -c /path/to/horde-beta/pear.conf -d
preferred_state=alpha install horde/horde
/path/to/horde-beta/pear/pear -c /path/to/horde-beta/pear.conf -d
preferred_state=alpha install horde/imp
/path/to/horde-beta/pear/pear -c /path/to/horde-beta/pear.conf -d
preferred_state=alpha install horde/turba


And I get a white screen when going to horde-beta.example.net/admin/config

test.php only says
Required Configuration Files

    config/conf.php: No
    The file config/conf.php appears to be missing. You need to login
to Horde as an administrator and create the initial configuration
file.

and
Local File Permissions

    Is /path/to/horde-beta/lib/../static writable by the web server user? No

I wish I knew what the ... was.

http://wiki.horde.org/FAQ/Admin/Troubleshoot/ says to check the apache
logs...  Apache logs say:
==> /var/log/apache2/logs/example-horde-beta-error_log <==

So where to here from here?  I was hoping to put a step-by-step for
idiots (namely me) and contribute it back.
