I can't respond about the OpenBSD problem as I have no system on which to

No.  This is disallowed because it causes many problems of consistency when
it comes to the installed locations (and configuration) of Perl modules from
pkgsrc.  pkgsrc requires that its perl be used so that the installed files
can configured and installed in a way that the pkg_* tools can find them
properly.
