I don't totally understand the question, but these dependencies are
virtuals that say you need an implementation of
- PHP-enabled webservers
- CGI-enabled webservers
If you run "equery g virtual/httpd-{cgi,php}" you can get an idea of
which packages can be used to satisfy the virtual. AFAIK, if you have
one already that is sufficient; otherwise Portage picks one (?).
I typically use "portageq expand_virtual / <pkg>" to see what packages
satisfy the virtual; for example:
λ portageq expand_virtual / virtual/editor
app-editors/vim
