Its kind of iffy at the moment.  You are correct the ports are laggy 
here specifically because of the mp2-RC5+ api change.
The update was rolled back because all of the associated ports like 
Apache::DBI for instance had not been updated yet making mp2RC5
kind of pointless.

You can always install from source.  It should be seemless.

cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
make install distclean

cd /usr/ports/www/apache2
make ........

dowload mp2
and build

Apache DBI you can download by searching the archives of this list. I've 
posted one before.  I believe Ask is in the proccess
of updating it per earlier e-mails.
