Indeed. :)
I'm not sure why you're choosing the direction for build install, that you are.
But if it were me; I'd

# cd /usr/ports/lang/php55
# make config
 choose the options you wish -- as Apache module for sure
# make
# make install clean
Assuming success...
# cd /usr/ports/www/apache<your chosen version>
# make config
 You know the drill; choose your favorite options
# make
# make install clean

Now, I might also mention, there's also
/usr/ports/lang/php55-extensions. This is a bit of a
meta-package that will allow you to pick all your favorite
must-have php extensions up front. But it's usually better to
simply go to each extension' folder/directory, and make(1), and
configure them individually. I only mention this, as you indicated
you were looking to install mediawiki, which, I believe needs (at least)
XML.

Best wishes, and hope this helps. :)
