Because git, with its default perl5_28 variant, does depend on p5.28 modules. "port info" does not take into account the variants you have selected when installing the port. Rather, it shows you the info of the port with its default variants. If you want to see the info with a different set of variants you can specify them, e.g. "port info git +perl5_30"
