You can install the ports collection, or install the package with
"package_add -r" or from (for example)
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/lang/php5-5.3.6.tbz 

You might want to look at the section on ports and packages in the
handbook. These procedures are covered nicely.

If you don't install it yourself, you need to start it yourself.  You
can write an rc.d(8) script, but installing from a port (or package)
would install one for you.

Because the PermitRootLogin option is disabled by default (for good
security reasons).
