How to build depreated ports

[Paul Schmehl]

I have a server that requires php56. I cannot update to php7, because a 
critical app is not ready yet.

How can I upgrade ports without upgrading all the php ports to 7?

I tried DISABLE_SECURITY_CHECK=yes in /etc/make.conf (and several others) 
but that didn't work.

Is there a way to ignore all php ports in portmaster so it will build 
everything but those?
