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).
