Try the PEAR PHP_Compatibility package
(http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=27): "Finds the lowest
version of PHP needed to run a PHP file/PHP files in a folder. Will soon
parse a script and check all includes and find the lowest common version.
Additionally, it finds all extensions needed to run the code. This could
easily be used in PEAR_PackageFileManager, say you set a PHP dependency of
"auto" and it'll detect it. Also could be used to find all extension
dependencys."
Very alpha but probably better than doing it by hand.
