Perhaps you could edit /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf to include

   HOLD_PKGS = [
     'php-*'
   ]

This should prevent portupgrade from upgrading anything php. Not sure I 
got the name correct; look at the pkg_info for your php installation.

I've used this for other things, but not for PHP. Caveat lector.

HTH.
