As far as I know, there isn't a phplib port and no plans to create one.
However, I use phplib (both 7.2d and the current version from CVS) on
FreeBSD 4.3 and 4.4 at the moment, and have for some time.

Just put the php directory from the distribution somewhere where
apache's php include path can find it.  I have virtual hosts set up,
so I have a virtual host entry that includes:

   php_value include_path /usr/local/www/artists/templates:/usr/local/www/artists/code:/usr/local/www/php/phpunit:/usr/local/www/php/phplib-devel
   php_value auto_prepend_file prepend.php3

That is, I search this virtual host's templates and code directories,
the phpunit directory and then the phplib directory.  This lets me make
tweaks to the phplib files by copying them into the virtual host's code
dir and thus leave my distribution sharable and unchanged.  Usually I
end up with at least a copy of prepend.php3 and local.inc in the code
directory.

Hope that helps.
