It gets a little more complicated than explicitly using p5-DBD-MariaDB,
as all the ports listing p5-DBD-mysql as a dependency will fail to build
- in my case mail/opendmarc, security/amavisd-new, mail/spamassassin,
databases/mytop...


A not so short time quasi-solution would be switching back to
mysql80-client?
