Only if the version the port requires is different than the one included in
one of the perls supported.

In ports that require 5.8+ I typically leave out Scalar::Util and Test::More
from the requirement-lists (and make them depend on version[1]), since they're 
already in the dist.  This doesn't hold if the port e.g. requires a newer 
Test-Simple (like Test-WWW-Mechanize).

[1] E.g.:
.if ${PERL_LEVEL} < 500800
BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH}/Scalar/Util.pm:${PORTSDIR}/lang/p5-Scalar-List-Utils
RUN_DEPENDS+=   ${SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH}/Scalar/Util.pm:${PORTSDIR}/lang/p5-Scalar-List-Utils
.endif
