I've found several methods for adding directories to @INC in perl:

www.ncode.ch/papers/Perl-Library-Mechanics.pdf

I was hoping to find a KNOB, or something I could put in pkgtools.conf
so that my custom library path gets included in perl's @INC.  I was
hoping -Dusesitecustomize would have not required a patch to the port's
Makefile but this didn't seem to be the case.  

I'm using -Dotherlibdirs now:

Is there a better way to do this?  If not, should I submit this patch to the
port maintainer?
