Well, I have gotten things to work, I think.
I posted it in bugzilla #529 for what it's worth.

For PHP 4 compiled with --with-gdbm, dbm has been superseded by dma;
so I need to use ct_dba.inc in PHPLIB prepend.php3 instead of ct_dbm.inc.
Also I need to use  "CT_Dba" in local.inc instead of "CT_DBM"
and need to change dba_open in PHPLIB ct_dba.inc to use mode
"c" instead of "w"  (GDBM_WRCREAT instead of GDBM_WRITER)


The test page horde/test.php3?mode=phplib-horde then works OK and
increments the session counter properly.

I was still getting some errors in IMP which went away when I reloaded
each frame. I'm not sure whether they were really still there or were an
artefact of having stuff cached. Anyhow, after editing php.ini to write
errors to a file instead of to stdout the problem seemed to clear up and
I didn't see the errors in the log, either.
