Thanks for the advice, Michael. I'm concerned that if I add the
dependancy files then I'll be caught in a dependancy spiral.

Anyhow, here is output for apt-get -t unstable install -php4:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  php4: Depends: libbz2-1.0 but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: libdb2 (>= 2:2.7.7.0-7) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: libexpat1 (>= 1.95.2-6) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: libmm11 but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: libpam0g (>= 0.72-1) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: libpcre3 but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: apache-common (>= 1.3.26) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: fileutils (>= 4.0-5)
E: Sorry, broken packages
