Ok, problem solved, this was two headed:
1) my LOCALBASE was //usr/local (note the double slash at the beginning)
2) a bug in BSDPAN

The BSDPAN bug was uncovered and fixed by Anton, it will be fixed in 
todays commit of perl 5.8.6 (was it?).
Why my LOCALBASE has two slashes at the beginning remains a mystery, 
I've now set it explicitly to /usr/local in /etc/make.conf.
Thanks a lot to Anton for the quick reaction and good work!
Kind regards,
Alex.
