After installing p5-Sort-Key it finally worked.
Seems like the dependency list of this port needs to be updated to account for these packages.
Comment 1 rfcantao@gmail.com 2022-05-20 14:35:10 UTC 
I can confirm this behavior on a new installation of 13.0-RELEASE, updated to 13.1-RELEASE.

After manually installing all needed Perl5 packages, landed on bug #263134.
Comment 2 Maja Reberc 2022-07-23 15:10:35 UTC 
I confirm the same behaviour on 13.1-RELEASE.

For convenience, I am providing a condensed list of packages I had to install and should probably be added as dependencies of biber:

p5-Class-Accessor
p5-DateTime
p5-DateTime-Format-Builder
p5-DateTime-Calendar-Julian
p5-Text-CSV
p5-File-Slurper
p5-Data-Uniqid
p5-Parse-RecDescent
p5-Sort-Key

After the required Perl modules were installed, I've encountered bug #263134.
Comment 3 Rainer Hurling freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-12-03 07:12:44 UTC 
(In reply to Maja Reberc from comment #2)

The missing dependencies were added in commit [1] from 2022-09-30. Unfortunately I had not mentioned this patch here, sorry for that. Also bug #263134 seems to be fixed.

Can you please check whether Latex-Biber is now building and working correctly. If so, I would like to close the PR, thank you.

Comment 4 Robert Clausecker freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-12-03 08:11:35 UTC 
Seems to work now, thanks!
Comment 5 rfcantao@gmail.com 2023-12-04 13:10:28 UTC 
Thank you very much for your time sorting this out! Unfortunatelly I'm not using FreeBSD right now, so I cannot check, but I'll go with Robert.
Cheers!
