I ran into the same problem with 5.12, here is how I fixed it:

pkg_info -qo p5-XML-SAX\* > p5-XML-SAX-list
pkg_delete -f p5-XML-SAX\*
portmaster `cat p5-XML-SAX-list`

Also, textproc/p5-XML-SAX needs to either be marked IS_INTERACTIVE or
patched to avoid this:

Do you want XML::SAX to alter ParserDetails.ini? [Y]
