This will not work in poudriere. I'd like to have a reproducible build,
if possible, not some kind of one-time hack.

There may be many dependencies to fix.

I have already tried going your way with the php52 port on a recent
FreeBSD, this turned out to be an unpleasant manual process of fixing
dependencies etc, and eventually I failed to overcome the problem.

It's strange and alarming that nobody cares in the FreeBSD world. In
Linux, you can install all versions from packages.sury.org, and what's
more, you can even have different versions simultaneously on one system.
