Comment(by blb@…):

 I think, in part, this issue is that the files being patched are mode 0444
 in the tarball itself:
 {{{
 ...
 -r-xr-xr-x  0 nick   nick   520000 Oct 30  2008 perl-5.8.9/Configure
 -r--r--r--  0 nick   nick   212259 Oct 23  2008 perl-5.8.9/configure.com
 -r-xr-xr-x  0 nick   nick     2615 Sep  4  2003 perl-5.8.9/configure.gnu
 ...
 }}}
 I'm pretty sure I had perl5.8 installed with MacPorts trunk on 10.5 (non-
 root) not too long ago, so this may perhaps be a tightening in 10.6?

 The simplest fix is for base to simply chmod u+w all of ${worksrcpath},
 but would that bring on other issues?  Anything needing tight permissions
 should probably be setting them during destroot.
