Thank you for reporting the problem. My co-maintainer updated the  
php5 port to 5.2.2 recently. It installed ok for me; I didn't realize  
the patch was failing. Ah, I see that patch is only used on Mac OS X  
10.3.x. I use 10.4.x and I suspect my co-maintainer does too. I'll  
have to have a look at this situation.

If you would like to install an older version, you will have to  
download an older version of the portfile from the MacPorts  
Subversion repository and overwrite the existing portfile. However  
hopefully I can resolve the patch problem shortly and then that won't  
be necessary.
