As a PHP tyro, does this mean that we will eventually see both
php_firebird.dll and fbclient.dll being distributed, either with or without
the official PHP distro, in the near future?

Sooner or later, I feel this will have to happen, especially as the two
products diverge. It would be nice (imo) to see it happen sooner, so that
FB has official support and is not treated as just a derivative of IB.
