Those packages were broken because they use USE_TOOLS when they  
require a pkgsrc package.  I proposed a way to fix them (http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-pkg/2007/11/20/0012.html 
) and am waiting for us to reach a consensus on how to interpret  
USE_TOOLS.

For the record, I did a bulk build with those affected packages and  
didn't notice any new breakage on Darwin 9.x because lang/perl5 didn't  
build then.  Sorry for breakages on other versions of Darwin.
