I always use +apache2 +fastcgi locally so I know this generally works  
well. I have not previously used all the other variants you're using,  
but I tried them now and it builds fine in MacPorts 1.7.1 on Mac OS X  
10.4.11 and 10.5.7.

Note that the functions provided by the +pcntl variant must not be  
used when PHP is running in a web server environment. See:

http://php.net/intro.pcntl


To begin to try to resolve this issue, I would suggest you  
reinstalling those ports that you have installed with improper  
platform variants, like Joshua said before:

+freebsd and +linux should not be used on Mac OS X.

Same here.

All of the above ports are missing the +darwin platform variant,  
which for various reasons these ports require in order to build  
correctly on Mac OS X. MacPorts automatically adds the +darwin  
variant for you, so you must've done something special to remove it,  
such as by typing "sudo port install portname -darwin" or by putting  
"-darwin" into your variants.conf, neither of which you should do.

So please edit your variants.conf, remove any references to platform  
variants from it, and then for each port referenced above, uninstall  
it with

sudo port -f uninstall portname

And then reinstall it with

sudo port install portname

You can specify variants on the port install command if desired, but  
do not specify platform variants; allow MacPorts to select the right  
ones for you.

I have seen this reported once before, and did not have a solution  
for it then either:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16596

Please let us know if rebuilding your ports with the proper platform  
variants resolves the issue, so that I can update the ticket with  
that solution.
