I just tried the port installation of the same version as listed
below, which worked without any problems.  Note that I did not have
any version of the port installed previously.

Did you deinstall-ed the port before (re)install-ing?

When I tried to re-install the port (once it was already installed),
process failed w/ saner & understandable error ...

  ===>   p5-Pod-Simple-3.05 depends on file: /misc/local/bin/perl5.8.8 - found

        You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
        by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
        If you really wish to overwrite the old port of textproc/p5-Pod-Simple
        without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
        in your environment or the "make install" command line.

Here, /misc/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Pod/Man.pm (1.37) has ...

  32 use strict;
  33 use subs qw(makespace);
  34 use vars qw(@ISA %ESCAPES $PREAMBLE $VERSION);
  35
  36 @ISA = qw(Pod::Parser);
