Most certainly not - I'm not sure why you think it is - look at
bsd.pkg.mk:

PERL5_SITEARCH!=        eval `${PERL5} -V:installsitearch 2>/dev/null`; \
                        echo $${installsitearch}

Now running this:

	smaug% perl -V:installsitearch
	installsitearch='/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/sparc-netbsd';

This is with perl 5.6.0 on sparc/1.5. Looks sane? 

If you want to check out what the variables are set to you, use:

	make show-var VARNAME=PERL5_SITELIB 

same for PERL5_SITEARCH, PERL5_ARCHLIB

Does this really give you seomthing 5.004ish with perl5.6.0 installed?

Just use Makefile.PL, and it'll go there automatically. 
Use PERL5_PACKLIST to to generate the PLIST from the .packlist files (see
other p5-* packages)
