Can you expand a little on that? Do you mean something like:

php-common
php-cgi
php-apache
php-devel
Etc. ?

Can cgi php use the same modules as mod_php? Should we build statically?

That would be OK if all the extensions are built as modules, but building
everything into one php executable would make it pretty big, wouldn't it?
