In view of all the comments, maybe I should re-pose
the question:

When the perl Makefile.PL; make; make install sequence
is invoked within a Portfile, use a perl with appropriate
flags/switches such that it will use the use the versioned directories.
Then Portfiles will work as you want them to.

But a "plain perl" used from commands like
   perl Makefile.PL
will use the more common installation directories,
like macports used to do, and every other OS does.
