I want to thank everyone who helped me out. I can confirm that the original issue (infinite delay and 100% CPU use while installing ExtUtils::MakeMaker from CPAN) is gone after upgrading to Perl 5.12. For some reason, the upgrade to 5.14 didn't work. Using "portupgrade -o lang/perl-5.14 perl-5.8.9" (or something similar, but I can't remember it now) just reinstalled Perl 5.8. Using "portupgrade -o lang/perl-5.12 perl-5.8.9" (or something similar) did work, though.
I ended up using the www/rt40 port. Its nice to know that someone is putting in the effort on a port. Thanks to Matthew for that. And now I'm back to upgrading security/amavisd-new and mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin and other Perl based ports. :) I'm really glad that portupgrade exists on FreeBSD. Thanks all!
