I saw it because I didn't have File::Next installed when testing and
got this:

===>  Configuring for p5-ack-3.5.0
Running Perl v5.32.1 at perl
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite File::Next 1.18 not found.

Otherwise the versions are listed in META.yml, it's a bit hard to read
as many of the modules are included in base, but portgen is usually quite
good at turning that into a list suitable for a Makefile.

But unless the update was quite recent, or you're looking at backporting
to -stable, or having the wrong version results in nasty breakage rather
than an actual failure, I don't think it makes a great deal of sense to
list allowed versions, they get out of sync easily, and only really
help if people have a mixture of various outdated packages installed,
which doesn't really work with OpenBSD anyway..
