I'm no authority on this but I was in the same position (with different 
apps).  Looking in the make file of pcre-utf8, it appears as though it 
IS pcre, with a knob specified (WITH_UTF8 I believe).  So, I used pkgdb 
to simply fix the pcre ref to point to pcre-utf8, and things appear to 
be working fine.

Again, I'm no authority on it, so you might wait for others to weigh in. 
  But it's working for me.
