Yes.

http://jp2.php.net/mkdir
http://jp2.php.net/umask

I think that fits the initial description of the problem; Dave, I'd be
interested to hear if this fixes it:
  $old=umask(0);
  mkdir($dirPath,0777);
  umask($old);

P.S. The comments on the above manual entries are interesting,
especially regarding security. But if you're using 777 then I assume
this doesn't need to be secure :-)
