I could be wrong about this, but I don't believe you need to reinstall those 
ports.
Just force delete all old versions of mod-php4 and then install the new 
version of php4 or mod-php4 (whichever one you actually want). The other 
ports shouldn't need to be reinstalled, because the new version of php 
installs to the same location as the old version. Hence the ports that use it 
will just use the new version automatically.
You may also want to clean up the duplicate gallery versions by using 
pkg_delete -f to remove both versions and then install just the latest 
version of gallery.

To avoid this problem in the future, always use portupgrade to upgrade your 
ports. That way you won't get multiple versions installed!
