Yeah, this is a pretty bogus 'vulnerability', since no sane person uses 
safe_mode.
For the time being, I've added the following to /etc/make.conf, but I'm 
looking to see if I can come up with a patch for the ports system that allows 
you to specify vuln id's you want to ignore.

.if !empty(.CURDIR:M*sysutils/php5-posix*)
DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes
.endif

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
