Rebuilding png and perl without rebuilding a whole lot of ports twice.

I have to portupgrade/portmaster both graphics/png and lang/perl, and these both require rebuilding all ports that depend on these two. Question is how to do this without rebuilding all these ports twice, redundantly, as might happen if I do portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.12

Unless the shareable version number is bumped, there is no need to re-build dependent ports. Most updates to shareables do not change the API or ABI, so dependent packages simply pull in the updated shareable when they load. You should only have to do the mass update once, whether for 1.5.10
