I'd suggest you to use the MacPorts way:

http://www.macports.org/

It's a really handy "downloader/compiler/installer" for all 
those of things, looking for dependencies, configuring... 
lots easier than the manual way. I used to be "manual-guy" 
until discovered it. Once intalled, something like this will 
do the whole work:

port install php52 +apache2 +mssql +mysql5 +postgresql83
(see variants for options available on each package)

That is my current php5 port, it installs the freetds php 
driver by default.

Ciao, stronk7 :-)
