+  The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been splitted into 'base' PHP,
+  PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new features.
+  Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP
+  installation (no PEAR and no extensions).
+  PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports, while
+  the set of PHP extensions to install can be choosen via the meta-ports
+  lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular
+  extensions individually.
