- I already had "extension=libpdf_php.so" in php.ini. That doesn't work. 
- I created libpdf_php.ini in /opt/local/var/db/php5/ and put the same line in there, but that doesn't work either.
- I removed libpdf_php.ini, added the extension line back into php.ini and also added extension_dir = "opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/" to php.ini. That doesn't work.

It looks to me like the ability to add modules is broken, but I am open to further instructions or suggestions.
