What about adding the path of MacPorts’ Perl modules located below /opt/local/lib/perl5/ to the file
/Library/Perl/5.18/AppendToPath , so that the system’s Perl can find these modules as well and includes them at the end of its @INC path (check via perl -e 'print join("\n", @INC);' or perl -V)?

/Library/Perl/5.18/AppendToPath per default consists already of one path to add:
/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18

Adding

/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18

to this file/path (for instance, I have no MacPorts Perl installed at the moment, the precise paths may differ slightly depending on the concrete Perl installation via MacPorts) might suffice the need and add these modules to system's Perl @INC path. I’ve had this one or two years ago, and it worked very well.
