I just had to change from PHP4 to PHP5 to make my SMF work. Now my Gallery V1.3.4 doesn't work. It looks like I need to upgrade to Gallery 2. Will the upgrade be ok? What is the easiest way to upgrade?

You don't upgrade to G2 you migrate to G2. I think there is a later release of G1x that works with php5.

Is there a note somewhere in the mess that is Gallery that says that?

This is a open source project. So you are only criticizing YOURSELF for not contributing fixes in the documentation or development. The documentation is for users BY users.

That said:
Migration: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:migration

G1.5.10 works with PHP5

So you can upgraded to your G1 or migrate to G2

applying some of migration instructions to your case:
since you have an old g1 version which doesn't work with php 5, you should first switch back to php 4.
once running php 4, you can upgrade g1.3 to the latest g1 version (g1.5....).

then you can go back to php 5. migrating your g1.5 to g2 is an optional step, but highly recommended.
