Why not use this:

	BUILD_DEPENDS+=		perl5:${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5
	RUN_DEPENDS+=		perl5:${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5

and make sure that the lang/perl5 port installs a 'perl5' link.  Then you 
won't even have to change bsd.port.mk for the next perl5 update that you want 
to use in the p5-* ports.

Or use some setting that runs the equivalent of this:

	cd ${PREFIX}/bin; ls -t perl5.* | head -1

to derive the latest available perl5 installed on the system?

Or should it use some other make variable that could, possibly, be set in
/etc/make.conf (or whatever) for the name of the perl5 to use?
