I have perl 5.20 installed on a PowerMac G4.
So, it definitely should install cleanly on ppc.
Have you removed all references to older perl
versions from your /etc/make.conf?
Apparently the only reference to any perl version
in make.conf should be a line like this...

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=perl5=5.20

I remember there was some fuzz with an older perl
version which was mentioned in make.conf when I
updated perl to 5.20.
