Don't know about ffmpeg-php or anything, as I've never used them. 
However, you could do a few different things to change the configure 
arguments. You could just edit the Makefile in the port's directory, or 
you could define some make variables either through /etc/make.conf or by 
defining them on the command line like

make -DWITH_SWSCALER

which will do the same thing as configure --enable-swscaler. Look 
through the Makefile for the defaults (both switches you mentioned are 
on by default in my ports tree) and all availible switches. Make syntax 
is simple enough, so you should be able to figure it out without much 
trouble. Also, you might want to run make configure instead of make 
install or even just make, since that will run the configure script and 
then stop, so you can look over the output and adjust as necessary 
before continuing the build.
