I did try to uninstall php5 first but it gave me the following error and didn't look as though it understood the uninstall command:

So, addressing you comments..
I am sorry, if I am wrong, but I understand that you tried to install php5 +mysql5 &c while having php5 +mysql4 installed?
I used the clean argument like you mentioned for php5, pcre, and expat. And as I said above i tried an uninstall and it failed.. so i deactivated php5 and tried to install a new version of php5
It is also hard to understand, where does pcre @4.5_0 come from.
I have no idea what pcre has to do with a php5 install but when i tried running the php5 install command that was one of the items that threw the " Image error: Another version of this port (pcre @4.5_0) is already active." error. For that reason I mentioned that in my original email but like I said I don't know what the relationship between that and php5 (if there is one).
You can see the dependencies doing 'port deps': e.g. 'port deps php5' gives ' libxml2 libxslt openssl zlib libiconv expat gettext tiff mhash libmcrypt curl pcre jpeg libpng freetype') basically, variants add to these. If you say 'port installed pcre', you see all installed versions of pcre.
I am running 10.4.9, MacPorts 1.442, Xcode 2.4.1. I really appreciate your help since I am relatively new to macports and am a little frustrated at this point.
Thanks for the prompt response! Evan
Hi again, I am a bit at loss, because I don't see any such errors, as: jwa@lan3:midgard> sudo port -f uninstall php5 @5.2.1_3+apache2 +darwin_8+macosx+mysql5+pear+postgresql ---> Unable to uninstall php5 5.2.1_3+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5 +pear+postgresql, the following ports depend on it: ---> midgard-php4 Warning: Uninstall forced. Proceeding despite dependencies. ---> Uninstalling php5 5.2.1_3+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5+pear +postgresql jwa@lan3:midgard> (that was inactive anyway). Have you performed sync or selfupdate lately? You could try cleaning out the whole port system, installing it again from scratch and doing selfupdate, and install php5 with variants after that. This is a bit of work, but ports do not behave like that in my system, I am on MBP, OS X 10.4.9, Xcode 2.4.1, MP 1.442 ! ! Jyrki Wahlstedt ! skype:jyrkiwahlstedt ! http://www.wahlstedt.fi/jyrki/ ! !
