If you could, please document where you had problems. It shouldn't be hard
and if it is, it would be good to know what went wrong.

This really seems pretty easy to fix.

can you share the parts of your httpd.conf where you specify php as a
filetype to execute?

grepping for php in my /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf file, I get:

114:LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so
228:    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
384:AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

The line numbers should help you find the same places in yours.

If you want to remove all of MacPorts (don't be hasty now), if you installed
it in /opt/local (the default location) you can simply "rm -r /opt/local"
and all will be as it was. But let's see if you can get it fixed first. I
think you're pretty close to getting it working.
