/usr/ports/UPDATING seems to imply you should be OK to force delete it -

20081207:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/php5
  AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org

  As of php 5.2.7, pcre extension is distributed with the core php5 
package, and not as a standalone module anymore.  Follow these steps to 
update your installation:

  Portupgrade users:
   pkg_delete -f php5-pcre-5.2.6
   pkgdb -F
   portupgrade as usual
