I'm hoping there's a way to package it separately. I want to install to /usr, but depending on how big the embed SAPI is, I don't know if it would be worthwhile for most users to to make everyone have to install it (since the only program I know of that uses it is phc).

My problem isn't creating a custom php package, the problem is creating one that installs to /usr but doesn't conflict with the official php package. I'd like to be able to install it just like you can install php-mcrypt and php-mysql.
You would have to modify the current php package though. Either you modify it yourself, name it differently, add the official php package to the list of conflicting packages and upload your PKGBUILD to AUR for those who would want to use embed sapi; or email the current php package maintainer and ask him to include --enable-embed=shared to the list of php extensions. Embed would then be compiled as a shared library and could be installed on demand.
Or something like that.
