Perhaps we can integrate this either in bsd.php.mk or make an 
bsd.pear.mk out of it. Variables starting with an underscore shouldn't 
be used in ports, and there should be no global configuration file in 
/usr/local/etc. Besides, this might gives us the chance to make this 
PREFIX safe.

There is no such thing as a PHP_BASE. Ports have to install all their 
files into PREFIX. X11BASE is settable in bsd.port.mk, we are working on 
the problem of the apache modules, and mozilla extensions are PREFIX 
safe AFAIK.

Besides, it looks like specifying a different PREFIX/LOCALBASE will 
break the packing list.
