You are lucky.
I did portmaster perl-5.8.8_1 and then perl-after-upgrade and 
perl-after-upgrade -f. Then I tried to restart spamassassin and amavisd 
- both end with some error wich were fixed by reinstalling these ports 
by portmaster too. Same it is for autoconf and other tools - they are 
not working till reinstall.
