Everything being under /opt/local is indeed the expected behaviour, bar
the few exceptions that have a good reason to install files elsewhere.
And indeed that is the case for perl5.8 here, according to 'port
contents perl5.8'.

It really does look as though your prefix has somehow been set to
/usr/share.
