Comment(by tommyd@…):

 This unfortunately does not work if _any_ of the listed p5-* dependencies
 have been installed under the non-default perl:

 {{{
 $ ikiwiki
 Failed to load plugin IkiWiki::Plugin::recentchanges: Can't locate
 HTML/Entities.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/darwin-2level
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9

 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 29) line 2.
 }}}

 So you see two things here:

  * The missing dependency is in `$prefix/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9
 /darwin-2level`, which is (for whatever reason) not in @INC, while a
 couple of other similar paths are (no, I don't mind to look into the perl5
 portfile's path mangling for now, call me ignorant :))
  * Since the perl5 setup calls $prefix/bin/perl Makefile.PL, the IkiWiki
 plugins land in $prefix/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9, not the expected /
 wanted lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1

 I understand that my current version is not working as it should, but I
 see no easy way to make it work properly with the mess MPs has with its
 perl version. Since my time I can devote to MP is rather limited, I could
 imagine two things:

  * If you're intested I can make you the maintainer of the port and you
 can work out the issues in your pace (I have not much use of ikiwiki
 nowadays anyways)
  * I revert the Portfile back to the version without variants and we / you
 try to work out the perl issues in the auto-setup, for example by patching
 it so it works with 5.8.x as well
  * If the previous thing is too hard to do, we could still bug the perl5
 port owners to finally remove / replace the ancient 5.8 version
