What are you commands are you executing and what are the results?

I don't see a php function named easterdate. There is easter_date  
which appears to work fine on my php5 install.

port installed
[...]
   php5 @5.2.8_1+apache2+imap+macosx+mysql5+pear+pspell+readline+sqlite 
+tidy (active)

Please provide more information on your environment like macports  
version, php5 version, php5 line from port installed, the command you  
are using to test php5 and the result of those tests. If the result is  
to verbose summarize.
