Looks like CVE-2011-2483 applies to PHP before 5.3.7:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-2483

and CVE-2011-4153 applies to 5.3.8:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-4153

and CVE-2011-3389 does not apply to PHP AFAIK:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3389

Since the version in ports is 5.3.10, I think you're safe.  I'm sure
someone will correct me if I'm off the mark.

Personally, I use portaudit to keep it all straight:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/ports-mgmt/portaudit/pkg-descr

Additionally, I'm signed up for the digest version of the US-CERT
alerts from here:
http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/signup.html

Pretty good because it shows right in the second column of the report
what versions are affected.

Cheers!
