Thanks Brad,
I'm trying but I am new at this. I apologize but I need a little more
info than the local-repositories guide and the ticket offers. I edited
sources.conf, and created a ~/ports directory to match the URL I added
but I don't know what to put inside that directory. Presumably the
Portfile in the ticket you created but where does it go? Which
subdirectory do I create for it? And what is the port command do I
need to use it. I'm guessing "port install p5-mac-growl"?

Steve, if you don't already have a local repo to try out this port
look here
to learn how to set one up:
http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories
Easy.
port search p5-*
This will give you a list of all the p5 (perl modules) in macports.
Picking one of them lets see what category macports keeps p5's in.
port dir p5-algorithm-annotate
Now cd to your local repo and create your category and port dir.
cd ~/ports
mkdir -p perl/p5-mac-growl
Now cd to your port dir and grab the file. I'm choosing to use curl
but how ever you want to get it there is fine.
cd perl/p5-mac-growl
curl http://trac.macports.org/raw-attachment/ticket/24748/Portfile -O
Now you could just build the port while in the port dir but for the
sake of learning lets let port know about our new port.
cd ~/ports
portindex
port dir p5-mac-grow
Now that port is aware of your new port you can install it as any
other port.
port install p5-mac-grow
