I *think* I've even worked out the right way to use that construct to make Perl upgrades simpler, so I use the p5-* ports:

I gave up on trying to use this in any useful way a while ago - if you've got some way that it works, please share.

According to my shell history, this is what I did to clear out all the old perl5.2[68] and

port deactivate perl5
port install perl5 +perl5_30
port deactivate perl5.26
port deactivate perl5.28
port installed|grep '^ p5\.2.*-' |awk '{print $1}'|while read x; do y=`echo $x|sed 's/\.2.-/-/'`; port -v -f deactivate $x ; port -v install $y; done

Adjust to suit whatever versions you're trying to remove/replace.
