AFAIK a perl module is just some kind of a library (from a compiler point of view), so it depends on which symbols the linux library uses and if you are willing to write some compat-shims. In the icc port we have some black magic to be able to link the linux-libs which come with icc to create a native FreeBSD program, maybe you can borrow some of this (objcpy in the Makefile and some stuff in files/). Feel free to ask here if you have some specific questions regarding the icc black magic.
