| current Port (a) works under FreeBSD 4.7 and (b) has a way to do a
| dynamic build, we're not interested...

No one asked you to update your system, but just your port tree, which is how
it's supposed to work. now, perl 5.8.5 should just compile fine on a
4.7-RELEASE, my workstation is :

$ uname -r
4.8-RELEASE

and perl 5.8.5 from the ports is dynamically linked and works just fine.

$ ldd /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.5
/usr/local/bin/perl5.8.5:
        libperl.so => /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/mach/CORE/libperl.so
(0x28067000)
        libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x28162000)
        libcrypt.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 (0x2817e000)
        libutil.so.3 => /usr/lib/libutil.so.3 (0x28197000)
        libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x281a0000)
