Eric, it appears that changing the man1dir and man3dir to man1p and  
man3p causes these man dirs to be searched after all the man1 and man3  
dirs in the search path. I didn't explain that well so I'll try again.

I think man must be searching all the man0 though man9 dirs before  
searching man1p and man3p. Or something like it.

/usr/share/man/man3/CGI.3pm.gz is found before /opt/local/share/ 
perl5.8/man/man3p/CGI.3pm even when MANPATH looks like this:

/opt/local/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11/man:/usr/local/share/man

I'm not saying I like this solution but changing the Portfile to add  
perl5.8/man:
     -D man1dir='${prefix}/share/perl5.8/man/man1' \
     -D man3dir='${prefix}/share/perl5.8/man/man3' \
     -D siteman1dir='${prefix}/share/man/man1' \
     -D siteman3dir='${prefix}/share/man/man3' \
     -D vendorman1dir='${prefix}/share/man/man1' \
     -D vendorman3dir='${prefix}/share/man/man3'

and making my MANPATH look like:

/opt/local/share/man:/opt/local/share/perl5.8/man:/opt/local/man:/usr/ 
share/man:/usr/X11/man:/usr/local/share/man

causes perl5.8 module man pages to be found before apple installed man  
pages.

I think this could also be done with man extensions but I don't see  
where in the perl Configure script there are vars for setting man1ext,  
site_man1ext and vendor_man1ext.
