They still seem reasonably available:
http://octopart.com/phr-4-jst-279167 points to a few suppliers and a
datasheet.
newark have them in stock:
Housing:

Crimps:

(450 dollars for the right crimp tool though, so you probably want to
bodge that bit :-)
I'd imagine there's be loads of those old CD drive cables kicking
about too which would avoid the crimping and be practically free. I
know I've got several. Try freecycle?
CPC are stil selling them at 65p each:
