No, unfortunately there isn't (at least, not without delving into the
code).  Your best and simplest option really is to install
lang/perl5.8.  Remember that you need to install it with the
WITH_THREADS make option in order to get a threaded perl.  Threading
support in perl-5.005.03 was still quite experimental.  Support in a
recent version, like 5.8.5 is much better
