It's not really a bug. Those ports just depend on the Perl 5.12 subport and not 
the Perl 5.14 subport; in fact, I think most ports that require Perl modules 
currently depend on the 5.12 versions. Ports are not designed to accept 
arbitrary subports for dependencies; nor should they, since that behavior would 
result in unrepeatable builds.

You can keep perl5.12 around independently of perl5.14, as well as the 5.12 
versions of required dependencies.
