Am I to understand that you want prebuilt binary packages for PHP which encapsulate every possible combination of "make config" options? That's a bit unreasonable with how the ports framework is built. That's something like over a hundred prebuilt packages -- just for PHP. That said: I do understand what you're saying, and yes, I can see why you would want that. It does make sense, and it's reasonable. It's just hard to achieve. I don't think other mainstream OSes (e.g. Linux) offer this ability either, though.
