Or, how do I fix this? Do you get this output only when using pkg_info as a regular user? If so, take a look at the permissions on the directory and files in /var/db/pkg/bsdpan-DBD-mysql-2.9003 et.al. If your umask is set at 077 when installing ports, this directory gets the wrong permission bits set.

The messages are telling you that when you installed the package, BSDPAN did register it into the package database, but it (obviously) has no information about where from the ports tree you installed it; e.g., if you installed DBI from the ports tree, its origin would be databases/p5-DBI. The CPAN module is Perl's mechanism for updating itself, and thus is kept more up-to-date than the FreeBSD ports collection. The merits of customizing Perl more specificly for FreeBSD should be counterbalanced by the concern of modifying the behavior of a standard tool (similar to the concerns over archivers/gtar). Why you're installing packages that are in the ports tree without using the ports tree is beyond me. If you want it to be updated, send-pr with a patch.
