Comment(by pixilla@…):

 Martin: I created a php5pear PortGroup and ports for the entire pear
 repository (563 ports).[[BR]]
  *
 [https://trac.macports.org/browser/users/pixilla/_resources/port1.0/group/php5pear-1.0.tcl
 PortGroup php5-pear] The PortGroup all pear-* ports depend on.
  * [https://trac.macports.org/browser/users/pixilla/php/php5-pear/Portfile
 Port php5-pear] The php5-pear port which all pear-* ports depend on.
  * [https://trac.macports.org/browser/users/pixilla/php Pear ports]  Pear
 port names start with pear-.
 I was wanting some help and confidence this is a decent enough approach
 before committing so many ports. I also want to add openmaintainer to all
 the pear- ports.[[BR]]
 On my local dev system I used this PortGroup to install ALL 500+ "pear-"
 ports over six months ago.[[BR]]

 {{{
 $ sudo port install name:^pear-
 }}}

 I am close to having pear uninstall cleanly but pear (a package maintainer
 app) writes its on registry files that for now I have gave up trying to
 prevent. I don't see this as being a show stopper, lots of other apps
 leave remnants on uninstall.
