I think that the best will be to not have any default "php5" port and 
just use php52, php53, php54, php5X, php60... as we have apache20, 
apache22, apache24, or mysql50-server, mysql51-server, mysql55-server.

There is no default apache2 or mysql5-server, so there is no confusion 
what is / what will be installed.

Then it can be choosed in make.conf what version will be used as 
default, similar to WITH_MYSQL_VER=51 or APACHE_PORT=www/apache22
