What happened to devel/php5-pcre?

[Darren Pilgrim]

I updated my ports tree today and pkg_version tells me:

php5-pcre-5.2.6_2                   >   succeeds index (index has 5.2.5)

Which was caused by an out-of-date index.  When I run make index:

Generating INDEX-6 - please wait..pear-File_Archive-1.5.4: 
"/data/sys/ports/devel/php5-pcre" non-existent -- d

Searching cvs-all shows a commit by ale on 2008-12-07 11:54:36 UTC in which:

Log:
Update to 5.2.7 release.

Revision  Changes    Path
1.5       +0 -14     ports/devel/php5-pcre/Makefile (dead)
1.2       +0 -13     ports/devel/php5-pcre/files/patch-php_pcre.c (dead)

However, the commit log doesn't indicate why this was done.  The release 
notes for PHP 5.2.7 and don't mention anything about PCRE other than it 
was updated to v7.8 to fix CVE-2008-2371.

I cvsup'ed ports-all twice, so I'm fairly sure my tree is sound.

How do I fix this?
