Just for kicks I tried installing /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 out of the ports on 
a cleanly installed 5.2-CURRENT box with a ports cvsup from about 3 days ago.  
It immediately installed apache 1.3.29, then did this: 

===>   Returning to build of mod_php4-4.3.4_2,1
===>   mod_php4-4.3.4_2,1 depends on executable: bison - found
===>   mod_php4-4.3.4_2,1 depends on shared library: expat.4 - found
===>   mod_php4-4.3.4_2,1 depends on shared library: mysqlclient.12 - not found
===>    Verifying install for mysqlclient.12 in 
/usr/ports/databases/mysql40-client
>> mysql-4.0.16.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.

Isn't that the 4.x support that you're looking for?
