JSP, FreeMarker and ColdFusion are all Java-based, while PHP is... well, not. You might be able to achieve an integration using Quercus [0], an implementation of PHP in Java, but I'm not sure what this would bring you. I think mostly a more ugly syntax which offers the ability to mix template and ugly code. :o) Nils.
