Yes -- you won't be able to run both mod_php4 and mod_php5 in the same
instance of apache.  Also you'll have to fiddle around with $PREFIX in
order to get both sets of ports installed at the same time.

Probably your best bet is to set up a jail(8) to run one of the apache
instances in.  You can use mod_proxy to make the content of the second
server appear as part of the first one if you need to.
