on my side, we use:

apache-1.3.6p0      The Apache web server (http://www.apache.org/)
php-3.0.7           PHP3 HTML-embedded programming language with
                        database connectivity
ap-php-3.0.7        PHP3 server module for Apache

So apache-1.3.6p0 (built with module feature in package
collection), the php-3.0.7 engine and the php' apache module
(ap-php-3.0.7).

So perhaps you did not install ap-php-3.0.7 ?

If you already installed it, you must have:

$ cat /usr/pkg/etc/php3.ini

#       $NetBSD: php3.ini.example,v 1.1 1999/05/03 21:35:06 tv Exp $
extension_dir=/usr/pkg/lib/php3
extension=mysql.so

$ grep -i php /usr/pkg/etc/httpd.conf

httpd.conf:AddModule mod_php3.c
httpd.conf:AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
httpd.conf:AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps

Hope this help,
