It might look that way from the build log, but neither it nor
p5-Pod-Escape appears to have such a declared dependency.  Also,
when I try to reproduce this on a machine running NetBSD/3.1 with
perl 5.8.8nb8, and has pkgsrc-2008Q3 checked out, it gets past
the point where yours blows up, and the package completes all its
own self-tests.  The lines in my build log which surrounds what
you get is:

cp lib/Pod/Simple/HTMLLegacy.pm blib/lib/Pod/Simple/HTMLLegacy.pm
cp lib/Pod/Simple/BlackBox.pm blib/lib/Pod/Simple/BlackBox.pm
cp lib/Pod/Simple/Transcode.pm blib/lib/Pod/Simple/Transcode.pm
Manifying blib/man3/Pod::Simple::DumpAsText.3
Manifying blib/man3/Pod::Simple::LinkSection.3
Manifying blib/man3/Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream.3

Pod::Simple is included in perl 5.10, but since you have 2008Q3,
you don't have perl 5.10 either.

Sorry, no idea what's going on with your build / environment.
