This is the quite-annoying #12710:

<http://trac.macports.org/ticket/12710>

> me at macbook:~/Desktop/ $sudo port -f activate p5-net-dns
> Error: port activate failed: Registry error: p5-net-dns not registered as

Note that the failure is occurring during the install of p5-mime-base64
(which is a dependency needed for p5-net-dns) hence p5-net-dns is not yet
installed; you have to force p5-mime-base64's activation

$ sudo port -f activate p5-mime-base64

Also, this may happen with other perl modules which conflict with the base
perl5.8 port...
