Not much of a bsd guy, but it makes me wonder if you have php installed
properly within your apache setup... you might need to resolve the
mod_php4 issues first...

You don't need to configure/make anything, you just put the files into a
directory under your apache <documentroot> directory. If you have php
support in apache it will parse them as is. Then just edit the
phpPgAdmin/conf/config.inc.php to put in your database settings and
you'll be good to go
