I'll suggest:
"
The 2.8.x wxWidgets for OS X does not support 64-bit. In order to build 
wxPerl you will need to either recompile Perl as a 32-bit binary or (if
using the Apple-provided Perl) force it to run in 32-bit mode (see "man 
perl").  Alpha 64-bit wx for OS X is in 2.9.x, but untested in wxPerl.
"

That is, something to let them know that most of the issue lies upstream 
still and/or that they can take matters into their own hands.
