A quick look in the Makefile for the lang/perl5.8 port reveals that
suidperl will only be compiled/installed when ENABLE_SUIDPERL is
defined.

So to install perl5.8 with suidperl you should go to the port
and do a 'make ENABLE_SUIDPERL=yes install' (after having deinstalled any
existing installation of course.)

If you are using packages rather than compiling from ports, you are out
of luck.
