If the deps are in macports it's usually trivial to add them.

Here is an example of depends_lib:

port cat p5-apache-session-wrapper

There is also depends_build and depends_run. Maybe more, not sure.

I don't use perl much so I'll let you or someone else figure out if  
the module works.

I am happy to help you get comfortable with the port command and will  
help create ports for missing dependencies.


Here are a couple good man pages:
man port
man porthier
