Have a look for BSDPAN.  It is about halfway to what you want I
figure. Basically when you install a package the "perl way" on
FreeBSD, it makes a package entry so that you can e.g. delete it using
pkg_delete.  But I don't think it gives you any ability to upgrade.

Basically I think there is nothing to do if you are using one of the
perl versions from the ports.
