versions are needed, some packages work with php4, some with php5.
but that could be solved by macthing php-common >= 4:4.4.3 or the like...
so the versions in virtuals aren't necessarily needed...

haven't seen yet where there could be need to specify:
php-common >= 4:4.1.0
php-pcre >= 4:4.4.0

but if to go with versions in virtuals, then it's going to be like :
php(pcre) = 5.2.0?

ie no epoches around those virtuals?
