I emerged mod_php not php.  Maybe that has something to do with it?

Yes, I'm running it today.  The snippet below is from my phpinfo() 
output after emerging php 5.0.2.

SimpleXML
Simplexml support	enabled
Revision 	$Revision: 1.139.2.4 $
Schema support 	enabled


Here is the configure command from phpinfo():

Configure Command 	'./configure' '--prefix=/usr' 
'--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' 
'--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--sysconfdir=/etc' 
'--localstatedir=/var/lib' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2'

'--with-mm' '--without-msession' '--enable-sqlite-utf8' '--enable-dba' 
'--with-readline' '--without-libedit'

Finally here's the exact command I used to emerge it:

USE="bzlib calendar pdflib curl curlwrappers dba debug iconv gd 
gd-external session sharedmem soapsnmp simplexml sqlite tidy tokenizer 
xmlrpc wddx xsl" emerge mod_php-5.0.2.ebuild

Hope that helps :-)
