Quoting "Matthew D. Fuller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 06:04:36PM -0500 I heard the voice of
Paul Schmehl, and lo! it spake thus:

If you plan on doing this often, pkgtools.conf is your best bet.  If you
plan on doing it once, commandline is probably the easiest and quickest.

I would say using ports-mgmt/portconf would be a better bet,

and maintained by the same maintainer as the PHP version I'm
currently struggling with... I'll take it. :)
It seems a lot less "kludgy" than the ways /I've/ been considering.
All of which were not /nearly/ as eloquent as those that have been
suggested here by Paul, Chris, and all. ;)

since it
does its thing whether you use make install or portupgrade or
portmaster or portsuperwhatsit.  A line like

php5*: PREFIX=/usr/local/php5

should take care of all php5 base/extension ports, wherever in the
tree they end up.  Of course, you're still odd in the tricky woods
building PECL stuff or the like, which could go against 4 or 5.  But
that's a different mess.

Indeed. :)

Thanks for taking the time to lend a hand. :)
