It does install, and work, however it also installed 
converters/libiconv, after which devel/pear failed to build.  Also NUT 
stopped working, at least it wouldn't load my UPS driver (powerpannel) 
removing converters/php55-iconv and converters/libiconv fixed the pear 
build issue, and rebuilding sysutils/nut without it installed resolved 
its issue as well. (well actually I rebuilt all ports, NUT doesn't 
require libiconv, but it uses gmake, which does).

I may have been hit by the order in which I installed things, having 
some things using one iconv and the others another.  However a 
portmaster -af failed to correct the issue until removing 
converters/libiconv.

I did find out how to modify the lang/php55/Makefile.ext file to build 
it without converters/libiconv, however there are some requirements in 
the base iconv that are missing 
<http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=341775> which 
may cause some problems down the road.  So I am currently working on 
building world with WITHOUT_ICONV in my /etc/src.conf to use the ports 
iconv and libiconv.
