Thanks for the tip, Frank. Unless I'm doing something wrong, it didn't  
work out for me:

@naiad ~] sudo port -f activate perl5.8
Password:
--->  The following versions of perl5.8 are currently installed:
--->  	perl5.8 @5.8.8_3+darwin_9
--->  	perl5.8 @5.8.9_1
Error: port activate failed: Registry error: Please specify the full  
version as recorded in the port registry.

@naiad ~] sudo port -f activate perl5.8.9_1
Error: port activate failed: Registry error: perl5.8.9_1 not  
registered as installed.

Ideas?
