These modules by their nature tend to be required just for building other ports. Therefore, keep whichever one is required for the port you're installing at the moment, and delete the other one. To save work, consider creating packages of both ports, so that you can just pkg_add whichever one you need. It might get tricky if you're installing a big complicated port with loads of perl module dependencies, where some of the dependencies want one, and some want the other. It's possible that having ExtUtils::MakeMaker will actually satisfy the BUILD_DEPENDS for most ports -- it's older and fairly unix-specific, whereas ExtUtils::Install does the same sort of thing for a wider range of OSes. But FreeBSD is unix, so we don't actually need the extra fiddly bits from ExtUtils::Install. However, I only intuit this from reading the docco. I haven't tested it, so it may be a load of old baloney...
