With a single daemon per version, remove the extra added phpXX_fpm copies, instead follow the suggestion after "If you need to run multiple versions of PHP on one machine" in php's pkg-readme. > 2) Would it make sense to include the more specific pexp in the PHP ports?

This is a bit awkward to do; the rc script would then need to parse the phpXX_fpm_flags variable and figure out what string php-fpm will use when it sets the process name (i.e. look for -y or --fpm-config and parse them the same way that php-fpm itself does). Yes it is possible to do that, but it's definitely more fragile, and considering that the main purpose of php-fpm is to run multiple copies of php for different environments anyway, it seems a bit redundant to run multiple copies of the same version of php-fpm. Though the existing pexp is slightly less flexible, IMHO it's enough for most use cases, and it doesn't really seem worth the extra fragility to do this differently.
