When you want to install any package, just go to the port directory and install it. In this case is under www directory, /usr/ports/www/apache13-modperl. It will download from ftp.freebsd.org and start make. The progress took a while since the connection in Seneca is slow. When I install at home it took about 3 minutes to finish 'make' in my VM. And I waited about 3 hours for the make at seneca and it never finished. I personally prefer yum and apt-get instead of FreeBSD "port" method. Because they have a great search function that let you search by keyword. Of course you can do the simulatr thing in FreeBSD with some ls command. It's just much more easier in Linux.
