Actually, I was having that trouble, too.  But for me the solution was 
to deinstall perl-threaded, pkg_delete -f the non-deinstalled perl 
5.8.9, rmconfig && make config-recursive in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8, 
make sure the "build threaded perl" was unchecked and make install clean 
from there.  Before doing all that, I had run perl-after-upgrade 
(several times) to no avail.

I'm not sure how I ended up with 2 perls installed, or why deinstalling 
perl-threaded left one remaining, but all was (is) well after I reverted 
perl as above.
