I went looking to see if I could discover what was wrong. Forgive me  
for not remembering the exact tickets I read, but...

I decided to install a *really* old version of libxml2 and try again  
(it's a really old OS). I chose libxml2 2.6.21

I got the Portfile from trac.macports.org, put it into a local  
directory then did

        sudo port uninstall -f libxml2
        sudo port uninstall libxslt

        sudo port install

now I have an "old" version of libxml2 installed.

Re-did the php5 install

        sudo port clean --work php5
        sudo port install php5 +apache +macosx +mysql5 +pear

everything seems to be back to "normal", but I am using an ancient  
libxml2.

Looking at the Portfiles for the old version of libxml2 and the new I  
see this difference

2.6.21 --
configure.args        --mandir=${prefix}/share/man --with-iconv=$ 
{prefix} \
                         --enable-static=no \
                         --without-python

2.6.32 --
configure.args          --disable-static \
                         --without-python


Not sure if this helps. Not sure if I am going to get "bit" by  
anything, but all of our "standard" things are back working again.

If anyone can help "fix" my brain so I can come closer to  
understanding what is/was happening, that would be great.
Yes - 10.3.9 is somewhat painful. Still don't have the choice to move  
forward. Wondering when I have to stop doing any port updates/syncs.
