There is a Perl module in the ports tree named FreeBSD::Ports with
which a port can be identified by contents of comment, if not by
pkg-desrc, besides other things.

Ah, here it is (output is from my own index search tool, parse-index;
perl 5.8.5 has been installed here)...

            name:  p5-FreeBSD-Ports-0.04
          origin:  /usr/ports/textproc/p5-FreeBSD-Ports
  install-prefix:  /usr/local
