I am not sure of an appropriate place to record this fact.
Suggestions?

It's trivial, and described in the jail manpage.  Basically you just
installworld into some directory, mount devfs and ports, then run
jail(8) and build things "as normal".

Yes, almost certaily it is something local to you.  Mikhail's port was
the only one failing to build in a jail (because the test tried to do
something forbidden, namely renicing itself to negative priority) out
of the ~16500 buildable ports, and in particular perl does build
successfully.
