I just tried to recompile php5 with DEBUG enabled as someone told this 
helped him here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2006-July/033794.html

Strange it seemed to him, but it also helped me. When I reinstalled pear 
after this, it rebuilt textproc/php5-xml and asked me to 
deinstall/reinstall that port first which it didn't do before. Now pear 
seems to work (installed, upgraded via its channel). Hope it won't 
trouble me anymore, don't know whether there is any issue with pear's port.
