Because you're going at it backwards. Just reinstall the top-level ports. Top-level ports are things like postgrey, pflogsumm, fastest_cvsup, etc. Reinstall those ports and they will reinstall perl and perl modules as dependencies. You can figure out which ports depend on perl modules by simply listing off dependencies for everything you have installed.
