Did you do an emerge -uaDNtv world after you put -nis in make.conf, to
recompile anything with the USE flag previously active?

inheriting the php-4_4.sapi eclass; contained in the eclass is this line:
# Recode is not liked
confutils_use_conflict "recode" "mysql" "imap" "nis"
Now, I don't know what this means, but it clearly is intended in some way.
I also would suspect that the nis flag is not related to PHP itself, but
one of its dependencies, which was compiled previously with this flag
set, which has now become 'illegal' (that happened to me the other day
with another package, the dependency had to be recompiled without a
particular flag set for the upgrade of the main package to install).
Here's the list of packages that have this flag:
equery hasuse -p nis

I don't have anything to do with PHP myself, but if one of these is
associated with your install of PHP, I would consider recompiling it
without the nis USE flag, and then see if PHP compiles.
Hope this is helpful, despite my ignorance of this specific package.
