php5 is where you're going to have the most choices, variant-wise. You definitely want +apache2 +postgresql +mysql5 but there are plenty of other variants. Mainly, the others map to configure options, so either you could guess from the names of variants (mostly descriptive enough) or you could try reading the portfile (it's at `port file php5`). You *don't* want +macosx, which will build php for the Apple's server, rather than MacPorts'.
That's handy to know, as I have php5 @5.2.2_0+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5 (active) on my Powerbook G4Ti ... I'd never have guessed that +macosx wasn't intended for the standard MacOSX 10.4.9 which I have installed. Seems to work fine though ... Mark
