After an update of perl, portupgrade -a is normally bound to fail anyway - at 
least if there are other perl ports left to update, since dependency files of 
other perl-ports will be looked after in the new versioned directory, won't 
be found, will then be rebuilt and at installation time the update process 
will fail because the package is already installed (but the files are still 
in the old perl subdirectory).

At that point at the latest, you'd normally run perl-after-upgrade.

It might very well be however that perl-after-upgrade is confused by your perl 
package being registered as perl-threaded.
