Are there any issues that I should be aware of? We're running 5.6.1 happily on all our 4.4 boxes (we need some CPAN stuff that requires 5.6 for our daily work). The only thing to keep in mind is to install the perl port before any other perl packages, patch bsd.port.mk to set the environment correctly, and optionally move the old perl binaries out of the way. Seems to work like a charm.
