You can run poudriere bulk -vv and it will show the dependency tree.
However since there are only two packages listed above that aren't perl,
I would inspect each port manually to see if you can find out why it is
trying to pull in a non-default version.  You could even try installing
just nagios-plugins and see which perl it tries to pull in.

I only use:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=       perl5=5.16
in my poudriere make.conf and everything uses 5.16, including nrpe and
nagios-plugins.

For the x11/examples/docs I am guessing something like:
OPTIONS_UNSET+=DOCS EXAMPLES X11
however many things like to pull in X11 anyway and it will probably take
a lot of work.
