That's fewer than I'd have thought, but there are also ports like 
php56-redis which don't show up as "pecl" though they are in the PECL 
repo. The current port uses a GH source. See 
https://pecl.php.net/package/redis and 
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/databases/php56-redis/Makefile?revision=403460&view=markup 
for an example. In fact, that GH source is also outdated and results in 
a redirect.

I'd say that in order to be rigorous, all php*- and pecl- ports need to 
be tested (at least) for compilation against php70 in in a clean system, 
and it's a good opportunity to update all with current versions. I'm 
happy to help. Feel free to contact me off list.
