PEAR will be installed in /usr/local/lib/php and the PHP binary in /usr/local/bin/php. PECL and the dl() function will work. Recompiling PHP will mess with Apple's own install paths but who cares. They shouldn't have installed PHP in such locations in the first place. So you might want to remove everything that is PHP related before actually installing PHP on your system.
