Maybe 3 options:

1.  Do as it says and uninstall mod_php4, then build
/usr/ports/lang/php4, which will install CGI, CLI and
Apache so module.

2.  If you've gotten this far, there's a CLI executable
built somewhere in the "work" subdirectory.  You
could install it yourself, but it wouldn't be registered,
I guess...a terrible hack, probably :-)

3.  Have you tried

$make FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes install

?  (Saving "make clean for later, just in case???")

HTH,
