Backups are good, but MacPorts also by default doesn't actually uninstall old versions of ports, just deactivates them. If you find the new versions are not to your liking, you can always go back and "sudo port activate" the old versions again.

Ok, but if on your local machine you are using PHP in a web server environment (which you are if you're talking about Apache and/or FastCGI), then you should not use the PCNTL functions. They're only to be used on the command line version of PHP. That's my understanding of the PHP documentation anyway; if you need more information you should ask the PHP developers.
