I found another problem like this with the port svk, which appears to be
using perl5.16 on my system, but the pre-compiled archive from the
buildbot is compiled for perl5.12.

$ port -q info --depends_lib svk
port:perl5.16, port:p5.16-data-hierarchy, port:p5.16-algorithm-diff,
port:p5.16-algorithm-annotate, ...
$ port -q contents svk
  /opt/local/bin/svk-5.12
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.4/SVK.pm
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.4/SVK/Accessor.pm
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.4/SVK/Command.pm
  ...

This means the behavior of the perl5 port group is effectively broken.
If this does not get fixed, no binary archives should be distributed for
any port using this port group in its current form, as the build results
are not reproducible.
