ports/devel/pth are "GNU Portable Threads" which implements threading 
support using a common interface for all systems. php4 requires this for 
working with apache2 (what is declared as "experimental"). Because of 
apache2 and php4 work under unix and windows (os/2, beos, ...), at least 
mod_php4 might require sth. like pth for having the same interface to a 
thread library on all systems.

I know this doesn't help you, but may give some clearance.

So long,
Jens
