Actually the header files are a problem too, because you can't have 'em
without doing at least a "configure" to generate the machine-specific ones.
The configure would already fail if PHP weren't installed and --with-php
were mentioned.  So the process would have to look something like
    -- configure PG, but lie about your ultimate intentions
    -- install bogus PG header files
    -- build and install PHP
    -- reconfigure PG, and hope you don't mess up by changing
       anything except the --with-php flag
    -- build and install PG
This is just not reasonable from a packaging standpoint.
