If I "sudo uninstall port php4", will it know that I'm referring to the first install solely by the omission of "+mysql5" and leave the current build of php4 alone?  

Try it out -- because you have more than one php4 installed, it should ask you to specify which one you want to uninstall:


$ sudo port uninstall php4
--->  The following versions of php4 are currently installed:
--->      php4 @4.4.9_11+apache2
--->      php4 @4.4.9_11+apache2+mysql5 (active)
Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please specify the full version as recorded in the port registry.


Here's how you could uninstall the old one:


$ sudo port uninstall php4 @4.4.9_11+apache2
