Bingo!  Found the problem.

Comparing src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl/config.SH-elf.i386 between
-STABLE and -CURRENT we find:

(-CURRENT)
installsitearch='/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.006/mach'

(-STABLE)
installsitearch='/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd'


This is what's causing the port PLISTs to malfunction.. -current
needs to be fixed appropriately, replacing 'mach' with
'{i386,alpha}-freebsd' as appropriate.

It also affects the threaded config file in the same directory.

No idea on the exact fix..  The perl mangling seems to be
"interesting" to say the least :)

Perhaps this will give Mark the ammo he needs to fix it.

That, and the patch to bsd.port.mk I gave should fix the perl
transition problem for ports.
