Hmm... what exactly goes wrong?  I haven't run into any problems myself.

Yes, this is an unfortunate side effect of using the package name and
version for dependencies, rather than the existence of a particular
file.  It's a toss-up: using the package-name style of dependency means

   * You can use the package version to enforce using correct versions

   * You don't need to use SITE_PERL in the port's Makefile -- see

http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsLongtermTargets?highlight=%28SITE_PERL%29#Use_of_SITE_PERL_in_dependencies

The downside is that

   * You have to use the ports to fulfil all dependencies.

	Cheers,
