I doubt it, if you're not willing to get your hands dirty learning to
decipher Makefiles as are used by ports.  It doesn't take a very long
time to learn enough to manange occasional successful kludging.  See the
make and gmake manuals and O'Reilly has a very small book on make and
Google should find you several intros and tutorials.

In this case, you've at least got the problem of the patches in
ports/www/mod_php4/files/.  You'd probably need to examine them and
try to determine which have been fixed in the new source (after
doing "make extract" to get the source into work/).  I suppose you
could try just deleteing the patches, but some might be there to
implement FreeBSD-isms or something.

If decide to get your hands really dirty, you'll want to consult
