Ok, maybe I wasn't as clear as I should have been.
It wasn't that I didn't find php5-extensions, or even that it's difficult
to use, but actually tracking down the php5-extensions directory in the
first place was somewhat of a problem because there is no mention anywhere
of it in the lang/php5 doc files. I finally stumbled on a reference to it
in a 2 year old doc I found on google while looking for how to make .so
extension extensions be found by php. There's also a couple of extensions
not in the php5-extensions list, but I found them as well (samba share,
"dir php5-* /ad /s" starting in the /usr/ports directory helped a lot).
You're portmanager line has been very helpful, everything that I was trying
to get installed is actually working! I only had one problem and that's
because Mail-Toaster defines itself as a package without defining an ORIGIN
line in it's +CONTENTS pkg file. Once I added that I stopped getting
portmanager upgrade errors and everything got properly upgraded and compiled.

Are you referring to 'php5-extensions-1.1' in the ports tree? Assuming
you have installed php5 via ports, why couldn't you just run:
portupgrade -NRryv php5-extensions
You will probably want to run 'make config' in that directory before
running portupgrade.
You could also use portmanager:
portmanager lang/php5-extensions -p -y -l
