I'm not an expert on the perl port so may misunsterstand your question, if so
sorry.  If your asking what I think your are though, all you have to do is 
make an entry like this:

lang/perl5|WITH_THREADS=yes|

in /usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf then portmanager will always
build perl with that setting.

Is it possible you have the WITH_THREADS=yes set in portupgrade's
config file but not portmanager's?  Another option so you don't have to set 
this in two files is to put it in /etc/make.conf then it will apply no matter
how the port is upgraded, the line would look like this:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/perl5}
WITH_THREADS=yes
.endif
