Of note, an extension to the php4 port has a note has usefull information-

# pkg_info php4-extensions-4.2.3

Information for php4-extensions-4.2.3:
Comment: informational package about PHP4 extensions

Description:
This is a place-holder package to inform you that the PHP port is now split into small sub-packages, designed to allow you to install modules independently of the main PHP engine.

For example, to install the IMAP module, just pkg_add the php-imap-4.2.3.tgz package and activate it using the 'phpxs' command.

This package contains no files or dependencies and may be safely uninstalled.

Of note, when you do install the extensions, you will be told to use phpxs.....

For example after php4-curl-4.2.3 you'll get this note

Install notice:
+---------------

| Enable this module in php.ini using the following command:
|
|       /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -a curl

So being aware of phpxs is helpful ;o)
btw, you may notice it modifies php.ini

# phpxs /h
Must specify either -a or -r action.

Usage: /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -a [ -c  ] 
       /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -r [ -c  ] 
       /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -s
