After installing several ports, it aborted with:

Then it probably is a bug -- I've cc'ed Daniel, he probably knows best what this could be as he is the maintainer of "p5-pathtools".

The p5-pathtools needs to overwrite the older pathtools that come with perl5.8 in order to be found (perl searches the vendor location last by default, and the perl community consensus is that this is the appropriate way to upgrade modules that ship with perl).

To that end, p5-pathtools would have printed out:

"You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) as it needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port"

You can run `sudo port -f install p5-pathtools` and then try installing firefox-x11 again and it should work.
