Wow, I found them fairly intuitive:

php4-ftp adds the ftp extension
php4-pgsql adds the pgsql extension
php4-mysqli adds teh mysqli_* functions
php4-session adds session support ...

the port itself is self-describing, or so *I* thought ... what do you find 
confusing about the format?  Does your mind somehow truncate once you hit 
the - and dooesn't register teh -pgsql part of it?  so you need a long 
pkg-descr that states:

Thie port add the pgsql extension to php4

?
