This is not Apache related question...

There are many ways.

1) portupgrade -a
	this will upgrade all ports in your system

2) portupgrade php5-*
	this will upgrade all php5 ports

3) portupgrade -r php5-5.2.1_3
	this will upgrade all ports dependent on php5-5.2.1_3

4) pkg_deinstall php5-* && portinstall php5-extensions
	this will deinstall all php5 related ports and extensions and then 
install new versions

I am using the last one (because of extensions order in php/extensions.ini)

All this could be done with Apache runing and after upgrade is done, 
just restart Apache.
