The php5 port uses the configure option "--with-ldap=/usr" so it's  
intended that LDAP support exist. Does it not work? I've never tried  
it; I don't have an LDAP server. If it's broken and we need to fix  
it, let me know, or file a ticket.

What other options do you need? Possibly we can add variants for  
them. I assume you've already checked the available variants? ("port  
variants php5")
