the pkg_postinst in php-core-4.3.4-r2 calles:
pear config-set cache_dir /tmp/pear/cache

pear however relies on /usr/bin/php, so we'll get an error if php-core is merged as a dependency of mod_php an we don't have dev-php/php installed:
/usr/bin/pear: line 28: /usr/bin/php: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/pear: line 28: exec: /usr/bin/php: cannot execute: No such file or directory

A depend on php wouldn't be the best solution i guess ;)

robbat2: isn't that fixed now?

php-core is yes, however I did not fix the old instance of this in php-core, only the new stuff in dev-php/php.

Unfortunely the only solution that works in the end IS a depend on dev-php/php, which is now in dev-php/{mod_php,php}-r2.
