I am attempting to install pear-base into /usr/bin instead of /opt/local/bin. My best understanding from the man page is that I should use:
bash$ sudo port -D /usr/bin install pear-base
but it still ends up in /opt/local. Is there a way plant this pear tree next to /usr/bin/php?

MacPorts is designed to install its software into ${prefix} which by default is /opt/local. A user can't make a port install its software into a different location. For the case of PEAR, you may want to install it yourself, by hand, in whatever location you want it, rather than use the port.
