The www/mod_php5 port gives you just the Apache loadable module, no
standalone php executable.

The lang/php5 port gives you both the Apache loadable module and the
standalone php executable.

The lang/php5-cli port gives you just the standalone php executable.

Finally, the www/php5-cgi port gives you a version of PHP *without*
fastcgi support -- ie. it's tied to using the traditional CGI interface.
(The php5-cgi port exists principally to be used with the www/suphp port)
