Comment(by nbest@…):

 I can't explain this, but I seem to have gotten past this error by simply
 saying:

 {{{
 sudo port -v selfupdate
 sudo port upgrade outdated
 }}}

 Neither action did much that was obvious but it must have appeased the
 Macports gods somehow.

 --->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

 The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you
 should run
   port upgrade outdated
 lep:macports nbest$ sudo port upgrade outdated
 Error: No ports matched the given expression
 }}}

 After that my original install command was able to proceed beyond
 perl5.12.  It's still running but I'm optimistic.
