This is the quite-annoying #12710: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/12710> > m...@macbook:~/Desktop/ $sudo port -f activate p5-net-dns > Error: port activate failed: Registry error: p5-net-dns not registered as > installed. Note that the failure is occurring during the install of p5-mime-base64 (which is a dependency needed for p5-net-dns) hence p5-net-dns is not yet installed; you have to force p5-mime-base64's activation $ sudo port -f activate p5-mime-base64 Also, this may happen with other perl modules which conflict with the base perl5.8 port...
