Definitely not.

pkg_info command will list installed packages and version.

If you want to change something in port configuration dialog (e.g. 
php5-extensions), just run `make config` in port directory or remove old 
configuration by `make rmconfig`. Then make install clean and you have 
what you want (or better use portinstall / protupgrade commands [from 
/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade])
