There's so many options building php, and the ports for php are vanilla. If you consider an full (textbased) GUI with which to choose the compile options vanilla, then yes it is. The ports collection is also used to build the various dependancies for the chosen compile options - so if an option, such as IMAP, isn't installed then the latest version is built along with PHP - making much more convient than building from tarballs and it just blows away the RPM system.
