The INSTALL file for zoph says it requires PHP4.  But hopefully it works
with PHP5.  Install it like this ans watch for some additional
instructions at the end of the install.

port install php5 +apache2 +mysql5

It has worked fine for me in the past.  Right now I'm having trouble
geting PHP5 to work with my new MacBook Pro and I haven't found the
problem yet.  Perhaps it is just my machine though.

Install using the server variant like this:

port install mysql5 +server

The server variant installs a LaunchD item.  A ui_msg during install will
tell you to do something like this to activate the startupitem.

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ .....

Set your path to have MacPorts paths in front of the rest and it will
always find MacPort's apachectl first.  Just turn off Personal Web Sharing
in System Preferences so Apple's Apache isn't running.

Making your own port is the way to go.  Something like below probably. 
The destroot section you'll need to modify, it is only an example.  Use a
local repository by editing /opt/local/etc/ports/sources.conf to have a
'file:///' entry locating yor local repository.

file:///Users/johndoe/dports
rsync://rsync.darwinports.org/dpupdate/dports

Then run 'portindex' from that directory and then install like any other
port.  After you get thePortfile modified properly and tested it can be
committed.
