id like to propose a new "ipc" variant for php4 / php5:

i dont believe this should entail any other dependencies.
You should email the maintainers for those ports, if you haven't already.
I've taken the liberty of CCing them on this email for convenience.
Emory, I've added an ipc variant to the php5 port. It compiles ok and php now sees that it has the relevant functions available, though I didn't test to see if they work, since I have no experience with these functions. You should be able to "port sync" soon and install with the +ipc variant then.
Emory, you'll definitely need to do some testing to make sure that these features work properly for your needs. I had some trouble trying to get some SysV IPC working on Mac OS X, and I had to modify the kernel defaults for my case. I eventually rewrote my code to use POSIX IPC. Just a word of warning. Chris
