The variants are being removed from the php5 port in favor of  
separate ports (see ticket #19091 if interested). I already added a  
separate port for php5's postgresql support, and in the process  
already made it possible to use postgresql84; this is the default in  
fact. So just ignore the variants you see in php5 and install the  
port php5-postgresql.
