I assume you are using all php54-* ports, and no php-* ports, and that you have used "sudo port select --set php php54" so that "php" will be MacPorts php54.

Provided by the php54-mbstring port.

Provided by the php54-iconv port.

Provided by the php54-posix port.

The ports that provide PHP database driver extensions also provide PDO versions of those drivers. Those ports are php54-mssql, php54-mysql, php54-odbc, php54-oracle, php54-postgresql, php54-sqlite.
