In my experience, the suggested command from UPDATING (i.e. "portupgrade 
-f `pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.20`") will *NOT* create the symlinks.
This is even explicitly stated during build:

In contrast to what is stated, this will happen regardless of the 
presence of any "DEFAULT_VERSION+=perl..." in /etc/make.conf.

A subsequent "portupgrade -f perl5.24" will create them, though.
