N.B. I have no clue on PHP in specific, having avoided it like the plague for years, but in general, the proper way to replace one port with another is: portmaster -o www/php5 www/php53 This will cause portmaster to do the right things, including fix-up all dependent ports to point at the newly installed port. At least, I see no reason to re-build all of the ports that depend on PHP. I don't think that this produced any changed in APIs or ABIs.
