Well, no -- not exactly. ;)
Per your suggestion, with the CTM deltas as of this morning, I did a 'portupgrade --force' to re-install 'textproc/intltool' (only).
Remember 'use.perl port' is now in effect.
During the 'install' phase of 'textproc/intltool' (after the 'gmake' phase), it showed:
[...]

So the perl58 version of the 'XML::Parser' module is in its own port (not in intltool).
And the above produced the desired effect i.e. to get the p5-* version of such modules installed.
But there isn't such a check in x11/gdm2's Makefile -- there's no check for depending on *any* perl pieces, period.
This leads me back to the original question, please see below...

In my earlier msg, I mentioned trying to get the prerequisite p5-* modules by choosing the p5-GnomePrint port.
This is something I merely picked out of thin air, after studying what port might be a good "catch-all" -- because there doesn't seem to be any docs written on what-all you need to do if you switch 'use.perl' from 'system' to 'port'.
During that same run I quoted before for p5-GnomePrint, thru a long series of required ports, 'p5-Gtk' was attempted with problems:

You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of textproc/p5-XML-Parser
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.

(I keep tee'd copies of most every run ;)
So your suggestion of installing p5-Gtk was already tried and failed before I posted my original msg. ;)
Yes of course this was before today's re-install of intltool and its requisite p5 version of the XML::Parser module.
After re-installing intltool today, I did a regular generic portupgrade run to get caught-up on the CTM deltas.
It seems to have gotten the x11/gdm2 updated & installed this time, along with other updated ports in gnome2 group.
I'll attempt to rerun p5-GnomePrint...

Well that is my _basic_ question in all this -- ;)
How do we find out what "all Perl modules" are needed when we change 'use.ports' from 'system' to 'port'?
And I'm only needing the pieces that are used by portupgrade (i.e. config/make scripts etc.).
What brought all this on (re: my previous msg) was the fact that x11/gdm2 does not have any refs in its Makefile for requiring any perl stuff at all. Clearly gdm2 _does_ need _some_ perl pieces in order to do its 'install' phase.
And there are probably many other ports that are lacking in their Makefiles in a similar manner.
Some ports have such checks e.g. intltool itself; others don't that need 'em e.g. gdm2.
I'll attempt to figure out the ports I got 'bit' on and try whipping up some patches (esp. gdm2 ;) if p5-GnomePrint still fails today.
Unless y'all have such patches waiting in a queue somewhere? ;)

When I get everything up-to-snuff with p5-* on Gnome2 and KDE, I'll see if we still have these "takes too long" problems.
