The diferences are specified here :

That may be a good thing, though; using pecl to install extensions into the MacPorts prefix would confuse MacPorts if we ever add ports for those extensions later. So let's just get it out of the way and make ports for any extensions you need.

line 91 in the portfile for php5 specifies --without-pear
you should be able to get pear  - and thus pecl - by specifying:
port install php5 +pear

I'm building php5-memcached thus :
/macports/bin/port install memcached

declare downloadDir=$( pecl config-show | awk '/download_dir/ {print $NF}' )
mkdir -p ${downloadDir}
cd ${downloadDir}

pecl download memcached

declare memcachedVer=$(ls memcached*)
tar -zxf ${memcachedVer}
cd $( basename ${memcachedVer} .tgz )

/WebServer/PHP5/bin/phpize
./configure \
    --with-libmemcached-dir=/macports \
    --with-zlib-dir=/macports \
    --enable-memcached

make
make install

my paths etc are different form the standard install of macports so
you'll have to modify the paths according to your installation
