However, the mixing of versions isn't due to php4 itself, but other packages in the dependency chain. And it appears that some of those are BuildDepends that you can remove.
Check out http://127.0.0.1/~hansen/finklogs/php4-mysql.pdf PHP5 appears to be a dependency that is directly called for by the apache2 build, so that's harder. You wouldn't be able to use Apple's built-in Apache with Fink packages. You'd have to build php4-mysql by hand. -- Alexander K.
