I don't think it's supported to run port from within port (and I don't think using internal port api for this is supported either).

At the time you're making the link, you already know that the appropriate perl5.X port has been installed, and so I don't think it's unreasonable to glob for perl5.X.* (or just remember to bump the version in the perl5 port when you update the perl5.X port).
