Look at the port lang/php5-extensions.

PHP in the ports system has seperated every extension into it's own 
port.  The extensions that are supposed to be installed by default come 
(by default) with the php5-extensions port.  This port is a meta port 
for each individual extension.  It's `make configure`able to include or 
exclude all extensions.  It's default config is to install the 
extensions that come by default with PHP.

It makes for an extremely flexible, yet elegant setup for php.

Essentially you just need to execute
portinstall lang/php5 lang/php5-extensions
and if you use any of the PEAR libraries add "devel/pear"

It's really cool.
