The canonical way to do this is by typing 'make config' in the lang/php5
port, and making sure the 'Apache' checkbox is checked. Then reinstall
php5. This will create a supplementary makefile under /var/db/ports/ which
will set various options according to your desires, and which will persist
across ports updates and so forth. It is, however, a bit of a bug in the
whole options processing thing that if the list of available options changes,
you aren't prompted to redo the configuration step when you go to update
the port.
Cheers,
