In fact all is still not well:

client# pkgin avail | grep php-5.5
php-5.5.1            PHP Hypertext Preprocessor version 5.5
php-5.5.1nb1         PHP Hypertext Preprocessor version 5.5

server# bzcat pkg_summary.bz2 | grep PKGNAME | grep php-5.5
PKGNAME=php-5.5.1
PKGNAME=php-5.5.1nb1
PKGNAME=php-5.5.2
PKGNAME=php-5.5.3

?
