That depends entirely on if JFFNMS runs on php5 or not... I'd guess that
if it's trying to draw in php4 as a dependency when you already have
php5 installed, it's probably not running on php4 reliably yet, in which
case you'll have to make some choises...
- If you don't really need php5, you just install php4 and unmerge php5
  (and mask it if it's getting dragged in by emerge again).
- If you want to run both php4 and php5, read this:
  http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/php/php4-php5-configuration.xml
- Or you edit the ebuild for JFFNMS to not have a depencency for <php5
  and try out running it on php5 instead... Probably wont work since
  either the maintainer or developers of JFFNMS has tried running it (or
  knows it wont run) on php5.
