Yuck.

Are you certain that the ports installer for php pear won't just 
reinstall mod_php clean?

Hrm.  After I just looked up pear, there's a LOT of ports for it.  This 
may be a good question for a nyphp list...

There may be an easy way around this that I can't see, but I'll throw 
in my .02? on the issue- running Apache/mods from Ports can become 
wicked complex (insane to maintain) when one has to incorporate new or 
different add-ons, (dependancy loops like this can become a puzzle much 
more time consuming than just installing Apache w. everything from 
sources...).

If it's trivial, I'd really seriously consider trying to Install at 
least the 'php pear' package from source- it may be simpler/cleaner to 
maintain in the long run.

end .02?

Rocket-
