I'm thinking most of your assumptions above are correct.  I'd
try something like this (as root):

$cd /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions

$make config

$make FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER="YES" install clean


This should allow you to add curl to your configuration
(in 'make config') and then rebuild and force installation
of the extensions.

Try a brief PHP CLI test afterwards ... I don't know whether
or not there's a chance that you may get duplicate
entries in php.ini and/or extensions.ini as a result of
this ... I had a recent (very minor) issue on a devel
machine as a result of some operation (but I can't
recall if it was a reconfig/reinstall or a plain portupgrade
or something) where I received some messages of the
ilk "'foo.so' already loaded in module Unknown on line 0"
caused by duplicate entiries in extensions.ini ... but
I'm not sure what caused this to happen.

HTH,
