Note, www/php4 package has many vulnerabilities...

Quick check which depends www/php4:

        meta-pkgs/php4-extensions
        net/php-yp
        textproc/php4-domxml
        textproc/php4-xslt
        www/apc-gui
        www/php-FastTemplate/Makefile
        www/php4-apc/Makefile

I think it is better to switch effort from maintaining php4 to
multiple php5 (php 5.2, 5.3).
