I assume you added the following which would have displayed after your
php5 installation:

nelis at sqldb~>$ pkg_info -D php5-5.0.4_1
Information for php5-5.0.4_1:

Install notice:
***************************************************************

Make sure index.php is part of your DirectoryIndex.

You should add the following to your Apache configuration file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

***************************************************************

Also, it's probably best to test your php5 installation using phpinfo();
Just add <? phpinfo(); ?> to a filename.php and access it via your web browser.
