Alex-

Yes. I did read ports UPDATING, but it wasn't quite clear to me that the
new php4-extensions would do the right things as far as mod_php4 was
concerned.

What I ended up doing was removing mod_php4 and then just installing
php4-extensions. This installed php4 and everything works fine. The
confusion was that if you are just interested mod_php4, will installing
the php4-extensions after updating the port have the desired effect? My
guess is "yes", but that isn't clear (and I haven't tried it).

It would be nice if postupgrade message for mod_php4 flashed and said
"if your php application requires any php extensions, cd
/usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions and do a make install".
