Thanks for the reply.

>From doing some more research list night, my understanding is that
the php binary is the whole kit and kaboodle, so if I 

- build PHP4 from source and

- configure it to look in a different spot for extensions,

then I should be able to use PHP4 and PHP5 via fastcgi on a per-vhost
basis.

I just won't be able to rely on ports for updates to PHP4.
