remove p5-math-bigint port?

It seems that the Math:BigInt module is provided by perl:

prunille:~> port contents perl5.8 | grep BigInt.pm
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Math/BigInt.pm

It is version 1.77. The version provided by the p5-math-bigint port
is 1.73 only. Is there a reason to keep such a port that is not
up-to-date and that will never be used because perl first selects
the modules distributed with the perl5 port?

BTW, the latest version of Math::BigInt on CPAN is 1.79. Shouldn't
perl5 be upgraded?
