For the first iteration, I would do nothing special. I would let each subport 
install those files, which would make the subports conflict with one another. 
That's not desirable, but better than the current unworkable situation.

As a second iteration, I would try removing those files from the p5.*-mod_perl2 
subports, and put only those files back into a mod_perl2 port. I assume 
mod_perl.so requires the rest of the perl-version-specific files, so that port 
would have perl5.* variants which depend on the corresponding p5.*-mod_perl2 
port.
