Best way to install PHP ImageMagick wrapper?

[Michael J. I. Jackson]

For anyone who comes after me, the process was not really that  
difficult. Here's what I did (after installing the php5 and  
imagemagick ports normally):

- installed PEAR (used go-pear). This could easily be done via the  
+pear php5 variant, but I like to keep my PEAR packages separate from  
the rest of my ports so I don't have to wipe them if I choose to wipe  
everything else. The only reason you need to perform this step is that  
you need pecl.
- $ pecl config-set php_ini /opt/local/etc/php.ini
- $ sudo pecl install imagick

Then, during the imagick install, you'll be asked where ImageMagick is  
installed on your machine. Just use /opt/local and you should be good  
to go.
