I recommend lang/php4

When you install it should come up with a menu allowing you to choose your
options (GD support, CLI, etc).  After it is done, it will tell you what to
add to your httpd.conf file to get .php files working (apache restart
required).  To test, make a file like:

<?php
phpinfo()
?>

And call it test.php or something, then browse to it.  If you see that text,
php isn't yet loaded.
