Thanks for asking for input.  At the least, you might wish to include support 
for:

MySQL
LDAP
Oracle

Another module is GTK (http://gtk.php.net/), although this needs X Windows 
libraries installed, and think about making PHP as a standalone binary, so it 
can run scripts outside of the Web server.

If you really want to add value, consider adding the Midgard module,
which is available from http://www.midgard-project.org.

This provides a very comprehensive database-centered Web content management 
and application development system, with excellent support for Virtual sites 
under Apache.

We're also developing on Cobalts with Ars-Digita ACS 4.0, but that's based on 
TCL, not PHP.  

Finally, a little off-topic, but I'm curious to know if you support extending 
the Perl-based admin interface with hooks for administering applications we 
build.  I've looked, but can't see it documented anywhere.
