Can you please add __PERL5_MAN3DIR etc. to MAKEFLAGS (see bsd.pkg.mk and
bsd.prefs.mk for several examples), so that the != assign doesn't run perl
on each run again.

Have you started to convert any perl pkgs for that new scheme?
I asked because I was at that point too (some time ago), but didn't manage

I guess this needs a bit of documentation (please update
Packages.txt as well!): 

``If your package installs to any of the following dir, please use the
given varname instead:

For perl 5.6.0:
  man/man3:					${PERL5_MAN3DIR}
  lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/sparc-netbsd:	${PERL5_SITEARCH}
  lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0:			${PERL5_SITELIB}
  lib/perl5/5.6.0/sparc-netbsd:			${PERL5_ARCHLIB}

For perl (old, i forgot :):
