I'm not familiar with PHP. But as far as I understand the mentioned
script /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php is a pure php call outside
of apache which normally will be run by a cronjob (to collect the data
for cacti in the background). So it should have nothing to do with the
apache configuration.

The problem seems to be the mix of installed php4 and php5 packages
and I'm not sure if this could be solved by cacti itself. There seems
to be a little mess with the php4 to php5 transition. As other packages
depend either on the php4 version or the php5 version of a package
this could lead to a mix of installed php4 and php5 packages, which
seems not to work for packages which depend on php. Maybe one or more
virtual php packages which itself depends either of the php4 or the
php5 version of the package and which would require the user to decide
which php version of the package should be installed could solve the
problem.

In the meantime a note in the README.Debian could be helpful.
