I've just tested on p5.
This is a G4 with a clean macports I put together just for this test.  
I will also test on a live system with existing perl5.8 and p5's.

Here is my initial result:
ChromeG4 root# port installed
No ports are installed.

ChromeG4 root# port install p5-cgi
/* no errors to speak of */

ChromeG4 root# port installed
The following ports are currently installed:
   p5-cgi @3.42_0 (active)
   perl5 @5.8.9_0 (active)
   perl5.8 @5.8.9_3 (active)

ChromeG4 root# man -wa CGI
/opt/local/man/man3/CGI.3pm.gz
/opt/local/share/man/man3/CGI.3pm.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/CGI.3pm
/opt/local/man/man3p/CGI.3pm
/opt/local/share/man/man3p/CGI.3pm

ChromeG4 root# perl -MCGI -le 'print $INC{"CGI.pm"}'
/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/CGI.pm

ChromeG4 root#

Looks like there is a slight problem with the man pages. Looks like  
man searches all paths for man1 then man2 and so on to man3 then man3p  
or something a little wierd because even with a MANPATH env like  
"export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH" the /usr/share/man/man3  
is showing up before /opt/local/man/man3p.

I'm not that familiar with man's configuration or flags so maybe I'm  
misinterpreting this output.

If that is the case we might do something like /opt/local/share/ 
perl5.8/man for the perl module man pages and add that to the MANPATH  
env after /opt/local/share/man and before $MANPATH.

I'm still performing more tests and will report back.
