Hi Kevin,
Yes, I have done many web searches. The only thing that came up that was near what I needed was:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-July/127059.html
However, since I can completely remove php4, then install php5, the method they talk about there seems a bit tedious.
Thanks for the reply, I thought deinstall and install should do the trick.... will let you know how I make out.

I can't say for sure that there's any such. Has a web search
turned up nothing, then?
Surely it's not much harder than:
$ cd /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions && make deinstall clean && make distclean
$ cd /usr/ports/lang/php4 && make deinstall clean && make distclean
and a little cleaning up in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/etc.

Definitely possible.

The extensions meta-port will pull PHP in as a dependency if you
haven't already installed it*, so the answer is not vice-versa, per
se. Do lang/php5 first.
