Probably this in automake14/Makefile:

CONFIGURE_ENV= PERL=${PERL5}

This explicitly hardcodes the version of perl in the shebang line. This
should probably be changed to ${PERL}, which isn't versioned. You'll
still need to do something (portupgrade, pkgdb -F) to fix its dependency
upon the new perl, but at least it won't be broken until you do so.
