Install from ports and you're done. There might be licence issues that prevents it from being included in base. And it drags the development down. You've got to understand how the FreeBSD development differs from that of Linux. The linux distros pull in a lot of stuff from everywhere and make that a distro - there is no such thing as a base system. Then some install php by default. In FreeBSD there is a complete system, base, maintained by the FreeBSD development team. Adding more stuff to base means that development will slow as there is more code to be maintained and checked before a new release can be made. And there is no benefit - just install from ports. Maybe what you want is that one of the predefined distributions you can choose in the installer includes php?

Read above - just install php from ports and you're done! csh and sh included in base are essential and sufficient to get basic stuff done at startup, you want to make sure that the system at boot depends on as little complexity as possible, this allows you always to get the basic system up so you can resolve any problems. Running core system scripts in a third party language is insane. Even bash is not in base. Perl was removed from base. Keep the system clean and you will have it reliable. Then add all the other stuff on top. > 3.

And, taking resources for yet another brushup may slow development. A CMS doesn't make the site look more or less professional, it lets you manage the content as the name suggests. Who knows, certainly some kind of content management is done .. but we can't see that. Joomla and others are well known for their security problems.
