I'm not exactly sure of what you mean by this -- can you elaborate?

I think that something like this[1]:
find ${PORTSDIR} -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -iregex '.*p5.*/pkg-plist' -exec
grep -l '\.so$' {} \;
would work as a good start. Granted, it won't get everything
(razor-agents, for example), but it does get a lot of them --
approximately 240 or so on my machine. An alternative method is to have
the XS Perl modules depend on a pseudo-port, and then you can
"portupgrade -r perl-xs-package", and it'd do all of the work for you,
like with pkg-config and GNOME (though that's not a pseudo-port at all,
of course).
[1]: If desired, I could write a Perl script to recurse through the
ports tree and grep the Makefiles for PERL_CONFIGURE and the pkg-plist
files for '\.so$'. This would probably prove to be a more definitive way
to determine which ports use XS. If anyone knows of a better way to
determine if a port is a Perl XS module, the information would be
appreciated.
