No, it won't magically push for php-5.3 instead of php-5.2. After the update, you can try to replace the php-5.2 stuff with php-5.3, using pkg_add -r <right list of php and plugin packages> Since other packages do have dependency markers, if they all can work with php-5.3, the replacement will work. If not, it will tell you which packages REALLY want php-5.2... We're not debian. We don't have hundreds of scripts that cater to most every update situation (and fail sometime, and are too complex for such a small organization as OpenBSD anyways).
