i experience the same thing with some of the php5 extensions.  i recently 
built php5-5.1.6_3 extensions with 'make package-recursive', and when i used 
the packages on another system, pcre and xml installed 0 files, but 
registered as having the port installed.

ive run into this with the php5 packages on more than one build system (and 
thus, i pretty much always just build php5 from scratch instead of my premade 
packages).
