Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Software installed by MacPorts will not replace any files installed by
 Apple, and that's by design. Replacing Apple software would be bad, as any
 Apple software update could come in and wipe out your changes, not to
 mention that Mac OS X was not designed to have its parts replaced like
 that, so if you do, parts of Mac OS X may not work right anymore. MacPorts
 tries to install most everything to its own prefix, by default /opt/local,
 so that it's separate from anything you may already have.

 I have not yet tried to build the MacPorts php5 or apache2 ports with the
 universal variant (e.g. with any 64-bit support) so I don't know if they
 work right like that.

 If there are specific PHP extension you need that are not provided by
 MacPorts, let me know; I may be able to add ports for them. Since you
 originally filed this ticket, PHP extensions are now in their own ports
 instead of part of the php5 port, so adding new ports for new extensions
 should be easy.
