Please note that libpcap in HEAD and RELENG_7 has been updated to 0.9.8 
recently while RELENG_6 remains at 0.9.4.  I'm not sure what p5-Net-Pcap 
really requires, but from the message you quote, 0.9.4 ain't it.  You 
might be able to work around this by installing net/libpcap from ports 
(which is at 0.9.7).  p5-Net-Pcap seems able to pick that up, too.

If that doesn't help you might be required to stick with an older version 
of p5-Net-Pcap for the moment (or a newer one if they figure out how to 
support older libpcap again).
