What you want to do is update your ports. Then cd to
/usr/ports/lang/php5

Now just install the port: make install && make distclean

There are certain attributes that should be added to the
httpd.conf file after the installation. You might try using this
installation method to get a better idea of what to do.

make && make install > ~/php5-install.log && make distclean

Now you can just read the log file created to get a better
picture of what you have to do.

By the way, I personally run PHP5 with Apache2 and have no
problems.
