 The problem is that for this specific port there is just no pkg-descr
 file.  The port is there, the path is correct.  But pkg-descr does not
 exist.  And probably never will.
 
 The 404 you get is because links to ports within the documentation are
 normally links to the pkg-descr file.
 
 Only 2 ways to fix that:
 - - add a pkg-descr file (this would need action from a ports committer)
 - - change the link in the documentation (make it inactive in the end)
 
 Option 1 will probably not happen.  All ports of this kind are just
 "compiling options for the real port" (mysql support for php5 in this
 case).  And there are a lot of them in the ports tree.
