Comment (by zsnakevil@…):

 Mixed PEAR packages, both from MacPorts and 3rd parties channels, would be
 used. Such as //PHP_CompatInfo//, //phpDocumentor-alpha// (phpdoc2) and
 //PHPUnit// (latest v3.7.13, fresher than the port).

 In that case, for **/usr/bin/php** has been used by **pear** as default,
 all installed command-line utilities from 3rd parties would continue to
 use **/usr/bin/php**! EVEN my active PHP version is the port **php54**.

 select php php54".

 > If you use MacPorts to manage your pear packages you are advised to not
 use the pear package manager directly.
