I can't tell you anything about installing the PHP 4 module from a binary package, because I have not tried to do it.  I have have compiled that module from the package sources several times, and I've never had a problem with it.  The MESSAGE file even tells you what mods to make to your httpd.conf file.  Kill -HUP your Apache process after making those mods to httpd.conf and you should be good to go.

I haven't tried to install any part of the MySQL package.  I have compiled Postgre from the package sources with success several times.  You need to rebuild your kernel with Postgre, because the standard kernel doesn't have some memory management stuff that PG needs.  You can find the details in the Postgre HTML docs.
