I  never ever mix ports and non ports.

If I need specific, I use virtual contexts like  virtualenv, RVM or
perlbrew. This way, I can :

- upgrade the ports without breaking end user application (only have
to take care of shared libs).
- install specific versions required by specific software with cpan, gem, pip
- install several versions of modules and interpreter on the same server
