I'm also getting the same problem. I tried the suggestion of
deactivating
the p5-digest-md5 package
That is not what the message is suggesting.
but that didn't work:
paul-imac-wired:local paul$ sudo port -f deactivate p5-digest-md5
Error: port deactivate failed: Registry error: p5-digest-md5 not
registered
as installed & active.
I think it was actually asking us to deactivate the perl5.8 port,
That is one of the two choices the message suggests to you, however
it is not the correct one in this case.
so I did this:
paul-imac-wired:local paul$ sudo port -f deactivate perl5.8
---> Deactivating perl5.8
... and it gets a bit further:
paul-imac-wired:local paul$ sudo port install imapsync
---> Activating p5-digest-md5 @2.38_0
---> Cleaning p5-digest-md5
It goes on to install a number of other packages, but then fails at
the
following step:

You have deactivated perl5.8, so it's no surprise it cannot now find
the perl program.
The correct solution to the problem at the time you encountered the
error message was to forcibly activate p5-digest-md5 with the
following command:
sudo port -f activate p5-digest-md5
But since you have since then done other things, you will first need
to clean that up with:
sudo port deactivate p5-digest-md5
sudo port activate perl5.8
Now you can forcibly activate p5-digest-md5:
sudo port -f activate p5-digest-md5
Now everything is installed in the correct order.
