What have I forgotten about specifying which Perl should be /opt/local/bin/perl?

I'm sorry you feel antagonized; I'm sure that was nobody's intention.

This is one of the aforementioned challenges/complexities with providing multiple versions of a port.

If we stick with multiple perl versions, and the perl5 port to create the symlinks, then maybe it would indeed help reduce some confusion to change the perl5 port's version to 1.0, or a YYYYMMDD date, or anything else that is not the version of one of the perl ports.
