Yes.  make install PREFIX=/usr/local/perl

Is that bad?  I like to have large packages installed into seperate
sub-directories in /usr/local rather than all competing for /usr/local/{bin,lib,
etc}.

I'm very unfamiliar with the ports system.  I've never heard of portinstall
or portupgrade.  

Just running make && make install in the appropriate port subdirectory.
