Thanks very much for this. Although as posted it didn't work, it gave me
enough of a clue to fix my problem. For the benefit of anyone else with
a similar problem, what fixed it for me was

svnlite co https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head -r 488749 /usr/ports

488893 got php56 but not php56-extensions. So I searched in the deleted
section on https://dev.freshports.org for php56-extensions, the entry
gave the last svn number which was less (488749) and this got everything 
php56 I required.
