 	Because it's not part of the PEAR PHP Framework. The author should 
 follow the formal proposal process 
 (http://pear.php.net/manual/en/newmaint.proposal.php) to have his 
 package added to the framework.
 	Try to have a look at devel/beautifyphp.

 	The Horde port installs its required PEAR packages via RUN_DEPENDS. 
 When you install that packages using pear(1) directly it would place 
 them inside the php_dir (defaults to /usr/lib/php).
