Nothing really.

It's just that portage follows the stable tree by default, and the
latest stable dev-php/php is 4.3.4-r4 (as of time of writing).
'dev-php/php-4.3.6_rc2' has the '~x86' flag in the ebuild meaning that
it is an unstable/testing version.

If you want to install mod_php whilst keeping your current version of
php, you can use the following options when emerging:
# emerge -U mod_php
and this will only perform upgrades (ie won't downgrade dev-php/php).

version 4.3.4-r4 of php?
