Sure they do.

On the website:

http://172.16.2.2/phpmanual/install-unix.html
in the Apache module instructions it says:

 20 
 21 15. cd ../php-3.0.x
 22 16. cp php3.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php3.ini
 23 
 24   You can edit /usr/local/lib/php3.ini file...
 25   if you prefer this file in another location, use
 26   --with-config-file-path=/path in step 8.

and in the INSTALL file that comes with the distribution,
it says:

cd ../php-4.0.x
cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
You can edit /usr/local/lib/php.ini file to set PHP options.
