This is a known problem which has not as yet been fixed. Basicly, 
p5-test-tester (and p5-test-use-ok) have been integrated into 
p5-test-simple and are no longer
required to build any port. See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46300.

To work around this:

   1) make sure your ports are up-to-date
         sudo port selfupdate
   2) uninstall/deactivate p5.*-test-tester and p5.*-test-use-ok
         sudo port -f uninstall p5.*-test-tester and installed
         sudo port -f uninstall p5.*-test-use-ok and installed
   3) clean and upgrade p5*-test-simple
         sudo port clean p5*-test-simple
         sudo port upgrade p5.20-test-simple

I believe this should work for you

Dave
