Yes, but building the SSL components is disabled by default. I assume that
you need to 'make config' and select SSL if you want p5-Net to do what
p5-Net-SMTP-SL does. Also, any code using  p5-Net-SMTP-SSL would need to be
modified to just use Net::SMTP instead of Net::SMTP::SSL. This should be an
upstream fix, not a FreeBSD patch. I have confirmed that devel/git
explicitly requires Net::SMTP::SSL. I MAY try to patch it and see if
Net::SMTP will do the trick.
