I assume your intention is to deprecate and eventually remove the php5pear 
portgroup. Note that you won't be able to remove the php5pear portgroup until 
all of these ports have been rebuilt on all users' systems. That means each one 
will need a revbump or version increase before the old portgroup can be removed.

This is because the portfile that was used at the time of installation is 
copied into the registry, and is used again when the port is uninstalled, but 
any portgroups it uses are not copied into the registry, and are used from 
their original location, so they must continue to exist until nobody has these 
ports installed anymore.

When I changed the php extension ports from the php 1.0 portgroup to the php 
1.1 portgroup, I increased the revision at the same time to force such a 
rebuild. I plan to delete the php 1.0 portgroup in a year, to give all users 
time to upgrade.
