Ken,

That was the trick -

I wound up doing:

USE="apache2 pcre postgres session" emerge php

Cleaned up the cruft in my /etc/apache2/modules/ from my efforts to
make it work by hand, and php (with phppgadmin) works fine.

If you use postgres in a cross-platform world, phppgadmin is a pretty
nice tool.  Gentoo has an ebuild, but you can get source here:
http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/

Thanks again for the hints.
