These are the binaries of dvdrip.
If you symlink them to /opt/local/bin
or add /opt/local/libexec/perl5.12/sitebin/ to your PATH,
everything should work as expected. Does it?

Have you read the README? Does it mention this situation,
i.e. binaries not in PATH that need to be symlinked?
If it doesn't, it probably should, right?

Similar situation as with the binaries: you should add
/opt/local/share/perl5.12/siteman/ to your MANPATH.
And the port message should mentions that.
See manpath(1).

Do we really have other versions of dvdrip?
The Portfile says explicitly it depends on

	port:p5.12-libintl-perl
	port:transcode \
	port:p5.12-gtk2

Should a message be displayed to the user
after installing such a port? In the same situation
(many possible pythons), OpenBSD's port system says
