I think the location of php.ini may have been moved to etc/php5 with  
php5 @5.2.10. I was paying that much attention when I upgraded.

Ryan, I see you are one of the maintainers of php5.

Would you consider adding:
variant ming description {Add library to create SWF ("Flash") format  
movies} {
     depends_lib-append \
         port:ming
     configure.args-append \
         --with-ming \
}
