Easy.

port search p5-*

This will give you a list of all the p5 (perl modules) in macports.

Picking one of them lets see what category macports keeps p5's in.

port dir p5-algorithm-annotate

Now cd to your local repo and create your category and port dir.

cd ~/ports
mkdir -p perl/p5-mac-growl


Now cd to your port dir and grab the file. I'm choosing to use curl  
but how ever you want to get it there is fine.
cd perl/p5-mac-growl
curl http://trac.macports.org/raw-attachment/ticket/24748/Portfile -O

Now you could just build the port while in the port dir but for the  
sake of learning lets let port know about our new port.
cd ~/ports
portindex
port dir p5-mac-grow

Now that port is aware of your new port you can install it as any  
other port.
port install p5-mac-grow
