Best way to install PHP ImageMagick wrapper?

[Michael J. I. Jackson]

I'm looking for the best way to install the imagick (PECL package) PHP  
wrapper for ImageMagick on a MacPorts PHP install. Since there is  
currently no port for the package, I'm assuming the best way to do  
this would be to install PHP with the pear variant, therefore  
installing the pecl package manager as well. Then, I could use PECL to  
install imagick.

Is there someone on this list who has had experience with this or can  
offer any advice?
