Generally, if I can build something myself, I will. I like to have

the latest port to come out). When I run into problems that take too
much time then I'll go with a macports or fink build.

If that's all that holds it up, just change the relevant parts (the distfile info) and build it: if it works, you can contribute the diff as a patch. That way, you get what you want and the php maintainer gets a little help.

I don't think of MacPorts as a way to stay on the bleeding edge of things, so your mileage will likely vary.
