The curl port runs "make install". The curl developers didn't include the mk-ca-bundle.pl script in the files that get installed when running "make install" which is why it doesn't end up getting installed by the port.

I'm not opposed to installing the script. What's the use case for a user needing to run it?

Note that there has also been a request to not build a bundle, but to install individual certificates:
