I have a fairly vanilla installation of OSX 10.3 with Developer tools.  the
MCPAN configuration script noticed the lack of the above utilities, but it
did not seem to affect anything.  so I concur - their absence does not appear
to be fatal.

on a related note:

the config process asks you if you want to manually set up CPAN, or have the
module config itself automatically.  I ran into a lot of trouble with the
auto config, so I recommend running the manual.  this is true even though I
answered the default to every question during the process! <shrug> who knows.
