Yes, but you'ld need several different php5-apache ports to account for
the different versions of apache available: 1.3, 2.0, 2.2 at least -- or
rather, the corresponding versions of devel/apr. apr itself can depend
optionally on mysql, postgresql, openldap, etc. etc. -- each combination
of options there produces a runtime pretty much incompatible with either
apache or modules compiled against apr with other combinations of
modules selected. You begin to see the problem?
Having said that, I do feel that having mod_php5 support available as a
pkg -- just compiled against the default apache version with the default
apache/apr settings -- would be a positive thing. Sometimes you just
want to throw some php application onto a server with minimum effort,
and being able to do that without having to compile either php or apache
is definitely a win.
Cheers,
Matthew
