Cough, cough, yeah, I mostly wrote that.

At that time, that line was right. Now, after that, the perl packages name
which had the same name (all named perl) and were conflicting and were
renamed to perl5 for the default perl, that is, 5.16, and perl5.xx for the
non default ones, that are 5.12, 5.14 and 5.18.

Now, as you can see, your perl is not named perl-5.14 but
perl5.14-5.14.4_3, so, you should change that line to :
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f perl5.14-5.14.4_3

I'll commit an update to that right now.
