Hi!

No port should claim ownership of perllocal.pod. Any port that does  
needs to be fixed.

git-core stopped claiming ownership of perllocal.pod in r34462  
(2008-02-25) so you should update your ports ("sudo port  
selfupdate"), clean git-core ("sudo port clean --work git-core") and  
try upgrading it again ("sudo port upgrade git-core").
