The path macport sees (specified in /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf) is

# PATH settings that are used for external tools (configure, make, etc.) while installing ports. The default

# paths are given in the example; it need not be uncommented. Customizing binpath is intended for advanced users only.

#binpath /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

Fixed in r66136. Not only couldn't it find perl, it couldn't find glib, orbit, or libxml either. Not sure what changed to break this.
