I had several issues trying to build DBI:
- Missing directory [.BLIB.ARCH.AUTO.DBI]
- Misplaced files: driver.xst driver_xst.h

Are these issues likely the result of some
misconfiguration of my system?

I don't think so.  I think these are bugs in either MakeMaker or
DBI's Makefile.PL or both.  I've made some progress peeling back the
layers of the problem but haven't found a solution yet, so for now I
think you've done what's necessary to get it to build.
I have always had luck with:

perl Makefile.pl
mmk test

as this creates the missing directory and copied the files properly. The test failures are largely non-issues (if I remember correctly, Tim actually had notes in the test file that some were to be expected). I can confirm that DBI and DBD::Oracle work fine, thanks...
