Bingo! This seems to be the correct answer!
cd /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions
make WITH_GD=yes WITH_GETTEXT=yes install
does the trick! Or one can leave off the WITH_* vars and select them
in the text gui.
Life would be so much easier if the php4 make and pkg-descr would
mention where to look for extentions. How is someone supposed to
know this exists (without monitoring all freebsd mailing lists)?

Didn't know you could set configure args at the top level make.
Good to know!

This is part of what was confusing me. There were lots of mailing
list references to using WITH_GD, but I couldn't find it in the
Makefile. Sometimes these are hiding in an included makefile
somewhere outside of the port itself.
But now I know it was moved to lang/php4-extentions sometime since
we originally built php4!

The string batch isn't in our make.conf. The gui was hiding in the
lang/php4-extentions port.
Yes g stands for graphical, which is why it is a "text gui". The
curses based line drawing and shading is a "text" based form of
graphics. Graphics does not imply bitmapped. Draw a box with a
pencil and you have graphics. :)
