There even was a bug filed today re this, and me (and I bet others) are now independently maintaining private php packages. I posted a link to my diffs some weeks ago, but got no replys even if they got downloaded several times _and_ had problems (at least with the imap stuff). My offer for help got no reply from Adam Conrad (official maintainer), and only a short "we're busy, be patient. no, we don't want/need help" from Steve Langasek, who seems to be the inofficial co-maintainer these days. I can say nothing than "compile you own", as 4.3.x IMHO adds some really useful bits, while fixing loads of bugs. I'll post an updated URL to my diffs as soon as I have these IMAP/Kerberos thing worked out (working on my development machine, but not on another - strange).
