How is the casual observer supposed to interpret the presence of '.pm'
appended to the port directory name of a p5- port, as distinct from
other p5- port drectory names that have no such suffix?

You're just introducing an inconsistency we can do without.

As already explained:

	p5-CGI		-> p5-CGI-modules
	p5-CGI.pm	-> p5-CGI

Now's probably not the time to repeat my suggestion to simply update the
modules in the base system, is it?  I suppose not.  Instead, let me ask
how Perl5 knows to try the CGI.pm in ${PREFIX} instead of the one
supplied by the base system. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
