p5-digest-md5, on the other hand, is a perl module, and it happens to
provide a module (Digest::MD5) which perl itself already provides.
Perhaps that was added with the recent update to perl 5.8.9. So you may not need the p5-digest-md5 port at all; you may be just fine with just
the
perl5.8 port. You can try uninstalling p5-digest-md5, or just leave it
deactivated.

Don't for get about #12710,

<http://trac.macports.org/ticket/12710>

where several modules replace what comes with perl.

Indeed. I didn't think p5-digest-md5 was one of those that traditionally did
this, but I see in #12710 that it is. It's just missing the classic

post-destroot {
ui_msg "You must install or activate this package with '- f' (force) as it
needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port"
}

block.

So does that mean that there's nothing I can do until the bug is addressed?

It means if you need p5-digest-md5, you can force its activation, and it will overwrite the similar files that had been provided by the perl5.8 port:

sudo port -f activate p5-digest-md5
