Not entirely.

That is the *intended* outcome, to be sure. *But* as noted in the OP[1],
and from some edge cases I've personally run into; the "general rule"
I listed, does apply. :)

I have now removed the package using pkg delete -f -n perl5-5.24.1.r4_1 and was
then able to install from ports without problems:

[1] root at gw2:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.24 # pkg info perl5.24-5.24.1.r5_1
perl5.24-5.24.1.r5_1
Name           : perl5.24
Version        : 5.24.1.r5_1
Installed on   : Thu Jan 12 17:53:45 2017 CET
Origin         : lang/perl5.24
