Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 This is very strange.

 I would suggest uninstalling perl5.8 completely, reinstalling it, and
 trying again.[[BR]]
 Since you probably now have two perls installed, you need to use the
 uninstall with version number:[[BR]]
 {{{
 port installed perl5.8
 }}}
 You will probably see two lines.[[BR]]
 For each line, run the command
 {{{
 port uninstall perl5.8 @ ...
 }}}
 where ... is the full version number (without the "(active)").

 Now run
 {{{
 port selfupdate
 port clean perl5.8
 port install perl5.8
 port install lablgtk2
 }}}

 Let me know if this solves the problem.
