You're right, the php5 port doesn't have a dbase variant yet.
To see where the php5 portfile is on your hard drive, type:
port file php5
To copy it to a new directory "php5" in your home directory, for
example, type:
mkdir ~/php5
cp `port file php5` ~/php5
Then you can edit ~/php5/Portfile as desired and to install it, you
type:
cd ~/php5
sudo port install
Or add variants as desired, e.g.:
sudo port install +apache2

This is waaay old but I'm finally getting around to this (read: the
client is paying). I've since updated to Macports 1.6. Is this
custom port still necessary (I assume so since I still don't see a
dbase option)? If so, I want to use a combo of patching and setting
up a local port (so I don't fubar the clean port). I assume I don't
just grab php5 source and dump it into a local directory and point
sources.conf at it. I'm sure a get a copy of the port, place it
locally, patch it, then follow
http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories. How do I
go about getting a local copy of the php5 port. Also, am I missing
anything?
Thank you for all the help! And I'll be sure to report back my
experience.

I haven't gotten any response as to how I go about getting the
php_dbase extension for the php5 package. Is it possible?
Should I
just drop MacPorts and go back to Fink?
I've attached a possible patch. Sync your ports repository, apply
it with "sudo patch `port file php` php5-dbase.patch", and then try
a "sudo port install php5 +dbase +whatever_else". I don't know
anything about dbase so I don't know if it'll work, but it's a try.
Please don't desert us! :) I only hadn't responded because I wasn't
familiar with dbase and had not yet had time to familiarize myself.
Please let me know if the patch from Chris works and I'll be
happy to
incorporate it into the php5 portfile.
BTW, his patching instructions should have read...
sudo patch `port file php5` php5-dbase.patch
