Ryan the maintainer of php5 will probably chime in but I will offer  
this in the mean time.

You don't mention what version of mysql4 you need but the php5-mysql  
port defaults to variant +mysqlnd which uses the php 5.3 native  
drivers to connect to mysql 4.1 or newer.

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php-mysqlnd/

Try not to use pear because Ryan is hard at work creating all the pear  
classes as ports.

port search php5-*

If you don't see the pear classes listed amoung the php5-* ports  
please request the ones you need.

So I something along the lines of this should get you what you want:
sudo port install mysql4 +server
sudo port install php5
sudo port install php5-mysql
