tar xzvf MacPorts-2.4.1.tar.gz
3.3. Build and install the unpacked sources

cd ../
rm -rf MacPorts-2.4.1*

vim ~/.bash_profile
$PATH = $PATH:{whatever directry you have here}:/opt/local/bin

It is also ok to install php and php-cgi separately.
sudo port install php53 php53-cgi
4.3. Make link to php and php-cgi
cd /opt/local/bin
