A legacy system that needs to be kept at php56. Things that need to
carry on running that aren't part of base or ports themselves, but
they've not been updated to php7x

I think I've found a way around it:

1. portmaster --list-origins | sort -u | tee ports.lst
2. remove everything php in that list
3. poudriere the list
4. config the client system to get the poudriere
5. pkg upgrade on client machine shows no php (this is the desired result)

is there a better way?
