There is no flag, but you could install both versions and, when using
Apache, toggle modules in your httpd.conf file:

# PHP4 enabled
LoadModule php4_module modules/mod_php4.so
#LoadModule php5_module modules/mod_php5.so

# PHP5 enabled
#LoadModule php4_module modules/mod_php4.so
LoadModule php5_module modules/mod_php5.so
