I would say using ports-mgmt/portconf would be a better bet, since it
does its thing whether you use make install or portupgrade or
portmaster or portsuperwhatsit.  A line like

php5*: PREFIX=/usr/local/php5

should take care of all php5 base/extension ports, wherever in the
tree they end up.  Of course, you're still odd in the tricky woods
building PECL stuff or the like, which could go against 4 or 5.  But
that's a different mess.
