MacPorts is designed not to overwrite things installed elsewhere on  
your Mac. It's also designed to use, as much as possible, only other  
software installed via MacPorts. It's perfectly acceptable to install  
perl5.8 from MacPorts so that other ports can make use of it.

If you "sudo port install p5-perlmagick", it should automatically  
install perl5.8 (and ImageMagick and other dependencies) for you. Did  
that not happen?

Please show us the exact command you typed and the exact output you  
got. Also tell us what version of MacPorts and Xcode you have. Thanks.
