Ah -- good call.  Does it work to use WANT_PHP_PEAR on the make
command line instead?  I'm beginning to think the WANT_PHP_FOO
variables maybe should be divided up a bit further into more clearly
demarkated porter-only USE_PHP_FOO and user-only WITH_PHP_FOO or
WANT_PHP_FOO versions.

Ho hum.  I'm not running Imp, but I hit the same sort of problems with
some code of my own.  Installing lang/php4-pear was required, and I
have a feeling I had to tweak some settings in php.ini to get the pear
stuff to work -- independent of the tweaks required to make the php
extensions load up properly.  But YMMV.

As I said, supplying the extra pieces by hand generally works.
There's a couple of things I've seen mentioned on the lists which
can't be fixed like that -- fsockopen() needing OpenSSL support to be
compiled in before it will do TLS or SSL tbased transports is probably
the worst. (I think, although I can't confirm it, that may not be a
problem any more in PHP5).

	Cheers,
