Comment(by lionteeth@…):

 That's likely all that's required.

 I had installed autoconf, which pulls in perl5 in the form of perl5
 @5.12.3, Revision 1 (lang). It does not create a symlink to
 /opt/local/bin/perl.

 help2man seems to depend on a slightly different, perl5.12, perl5.12
 @5.12.3_3. This version insists on creating a symlink to
 /opt/local/bin/perl.

 Somehow installing mp4v2, which depends on help2man, didn't quite handle
 this. help2man seems to have seen that perl5 @5.12.3 rev 1 was installed,
 but expected it to have a /opt/local/bin/perl.
