i was having the same issue yesterday.  take a look at the
/usr/ports/lang/php5/Makefile.  this was where my problem was, and tho i
didnt use the www/php5-session, i would make a bet that if you begin from
there with  no php5 installed at all, then it backs up and begins from
lang/php5, and then moves on from there.

the problem with my lang/php5/Makefile was, that this line was not
included (totally not there... not even there and commented out):

WITH_APACHE=    yes

once i added it, did a pkg_delete -r php5-5.1.4 (-r = recurse all
dependencies against this package), and started over, the lib file
compiled on the next attempt.

the port for php5-5.1.2 included that line, and therefor the lib file
compiled by default previously.  im not sure if the omission of
"WITH_APACHE=    yes" was by intention or not, but ill have to be sure to
check it for near future installs.

tht,
jonathan
