What I have done is:
1) Loaded a system from the 5.3R CD, cvsup'ed and built world etc, 
cvsup'ed ports and upgraded. Then installed lang4-extensions/apache13
2) Repeated 1) on a second box, but installing lang5-extensions/apache13
3) Repeated 1) on the second box, but installing lang5-extensions/apache2

Used the same options in all 3 cases. (slight diffs in the apache2 case)

1) works as always. I find 
LoadModule php4_module        libexec/apache/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c
in httpd.conf (No need to add anything)

2) does not work. I find
LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache/libphp5.so
AddModule mod_php5.c
in httpd.conf 

3) does not work. I find
LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
in httpd.conf (no AddModule) 

In both steps 1) and 2) I find
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    <IfModule mod_php3.c>
        <IfModule mod_php4.c>
            DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html
        </IfModule>
        <IfModule !mod_php4.c>
            DirectoryIndex index.php3 index.html
        </IfModule>
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_php3.c>
        <IfModule mod_php4.c>
            DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
        </IfModule>
        <IfModule !mod_php4.c>
            DirectoryIndex index.html
        </IfModule>
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>
in httpd.conf, but this (oversighth?) is probably not important for php5 to work,
and editing makes no difference.
