You can use "port variants php5" to answer this question:

$ port variants php5 | grep sqlite
   sqlite: Obsolete; install php5-sqlite port instead

In 2009, I separated php5's feature variants into separate ports, to make them easier to install. The variants were kept around in a nonfunctional state to advise users how to upgrade. Since it's been over a year, everyone who cares should have upgraded by now, so I removed these variants:

No; MacPorts handles dependencies for you; that's one of the main reasons to use MacPorts.
